Colorful markers make studying more fun!

Hmmm the wallpaper is familiar???.. Haha yasss Steven Universe is my Favorite cartoon ~ and the sound track is so lit 🌌❤️ kinda vibin to it ~

Anyways ~ my Organic Chemistry course is already done but...... I still have a lot of topic need to study mooreeee ~ for my future courses related to it 😆

Electrophile and nucleophile with example

Electrophile definition and example

The electron-deficient species which tend to attack the substrate at the site of high electron density is called electrophile. The electrophile may be neutral but electron efficient that may have lees then eight electrons in the outer quantum energy level. CCl2, R-N, BF3, AlCl3, CH2 are an example of opposite electrophile species.

It may be positively charged species. eg, NO2+, -R+.

It may be a positive pole of the polar chemical bond. eg, I - Cl(interhalogen), RCOR, RX

Definition and relative order of nucleophilicity

The attacking tendency of a nucleophile to the electron efficient atom is called nucleophilicity.

The nucleophile with a negative charge is always stronger nucleophile than its conjugate acid which is also a nucleophile. eg, OH- > H2O, NH2- > NH3, SH- > H2S, RO- > ROH, RNH- > RNH2

In a set of nucleophiles having the same doner atom the nucleophilicity increases with increasing the electron charge density as that of base properties. eg, OH- > PH-O- > RCO-O-

Nucleophiles whose attacking atoms are within the same row the periodic table, nucleophilicity decreases from left to right as that of electronegativity increases. eg, CH3 > NH2- > OH- > F-

When we go from top to bottom in a group ionization energy decreases also basicity decreases

Neucliphilicty increases in the protic solvent.

It decreases in the aprotic solvent.

Neucleophilicity in the protic solvent, F- > Cl- > Br- >I-, OH- > SH-, NH2- > PH2-, H2O < H2S, NH3 < PH3. The anomaly's behavior can be explained by electric polarization and solvation of nucleophiles in the protic solvent. As we go down in a group in the periodic table atomic volume increase and less solvation take place, hence nucleophilicity increases.

[tenth-sentence]

Nucleophilic substitution is any reaction in which one nucleophile is substituted for another.

"Chemistry" 2e - Blackman, A., Bottle, S., Schmid, S., Mocerino, M., Wille, U.

[whats-in-a-sentence]

The nucleophiles in table 18.2 are those we deal with most commonly in this text.

"Chemistry" 2e - Blackman, A., Bottle, S., Schmid, S., Mocerino, M., Wille, U.

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Nucleophilic substitution is one of the most important reactions of haloalkanes and can lead to a wide variety of new functional groups, several of which are illustrated in table 18.1.

Note the following points from table 8.1.

While the symbol Nu:- is used to represent any nucleophile, not all nucleophiles are negatively charged.

If the nucleophile is negatively charged, as for OH- and RS-, the atom donating the pair of electrons in the substitution reaction becomes neutral in the product.

If the nucleophile is uncharged, as for NH3 and CH3OH, the atom donating the pair of electrons in the substitution reaction becomes positively charged in the product. Often, the product then undergoes a second step involving proton transfer to yield a neutral substitution product.
