Question
Chapter 9, Problem 9.5P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
It is to be determined if
Concept introduction:
The distinction between strong and weak nucleophiles is empirical.
Generally, the nucleophiles that are charged (total charge -1) are considered to be strong nucleophiles while neutral nucleophiles are considered to be weak nucleophiles.
Strong, negatively charged nucleophiles tend to favour
Weak, uncharged nucleophiles tend to favour
