(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product of ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reaction of (S)-2-chloropentane and $\text{NaSH}$ is to be interpreted.

Concept introduction:

In the ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reaction mechanism, two reactants take part in the rate determining step. The rate-determining step is the step of a multistep reaction that determines the order of the reaction. The reaction occurs with the formation of the transition state. The transition state further converts to the product.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product of ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reaction of (R)-3-iodohexane and $\text{NaCl}$ is to be interpreted.

Concept introduction:

In the ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reaction mechanism, two reactants take part in the rate determining step. The rate determining step is the step of a multistep reaction which determines the order of reaction. The reaction occurs with the formation of transition state. The transition state further converts to the product.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product of ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reaction of (R)-2-bromohexane and $\text{NaCN}$ is to be interpreted.

Concept introduction:

In the ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reaction mechanism, two reactants take part in the rate determining step. The rate determining step is the step of a multistep reaction which determines the order of reaction. The reaction occurs with the formation of transition state. The transition state further converts to the product.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product of ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reaction of 1-bromoheptane and $\text{NaOH}$ is to be interpreted.

Concept introduction:

In the ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reaction mechanism, two reactants take part in the rate determining step. The rate determining step is the step of a multistep reaction which determines the order of reaction. The reaction occurs with the formation of transition state. The transition state further converts to the product.
