Interpretation: The given species are to be arranged in order of increasing nucleophilicity.
Concept introduction: The replacement or substitution of one functional group with another different functional group in any
Answer to Problem 7.54P
The order of increasing nucleophilicity is
Explanation of Solution
On moving right to left across a row in periodic table, nucleophilicity as well as the basicity increases. Therefore, the order of increasing nucleophilicity is
The order of increasing nucleophilicity is
(b)
Interpretation: The given species are to be arranged in order of increasing nucleophilicity.
Concept introduction: The replacement or substitution of one functional group with another different functional group in any chemical reaction is termed as substitution reaction. In nucleophilic substitution reaction, nucleophile takes the position of leaving group by attacking on the electron deficient carbon atom. The good nucleophiles are strong base whose conjugate acids have high

Answer to Problem 7.54P
The order of increasing nucleophilicity is
Explanation of Solution
The nucleophilicity and basicity are directly related to each other in
On moving down the group in a periodic table and left to right in a period, basicity decreases and hence, nucleophilicity decreases. Sulfur lies below oxygen atom and nitrogen lies left to oxygen atom in a periodic table. Thus, the order of increasing nucleophilicity is

Answer to Problem 7.54P
The order of increasing nucleophilicity is
Explanation of Solution
The nucleophilicity and basicity are directly related to each other in polar aprotic solvent. Acetone is a polar aprotic solvent.
On moving down the group in a periodic table and left to right in a period, basicity decreases and hence, nucleophilicity decreases. Chlorine lies below fluorine atom and nitrogen lies left to fluorine in a periodic table. Thus, the order of increasing nucleophilicity is
