Answer:

A nucleophilic substitution process is required for the transformation of CH3-CH2-Br into CH3-CH3. Substituting one nucleophile for another is at the heart of this sort of reaction.

Explanation:

To create CH3-CH2-Br, a hydrogen atom is substituted for the bromine atom.

A nucleophile must attack the carbon atom linked to the bromine atom in CH3-CH2-Br to undergo the reaction yielding CH3-CH3. This will cause the bromine atom to be displaced, producing a new carbon-carbon bond (CH3-CH3).

Sodium hydride is often utilised as a nucleophile in this reaction (NaH). Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a strong base that may remove the hydrogen from the bromine-carbon bond. This creates a carbon atom with a negative charge, making it more reactive and able to attack the positively charged bromine atom.

Here is how the response develops:

The reaction between CH3-CH2-Br and NaH yields CH3-CH2--, Na+, and HBr.

CH3-CH2^- + CH3-CH2-Br CH3-CH3 + CH3-CH2Br-

In the first stage, the carbon atom linked to the bromine atom becomes negatively charged when the NaH deprotonates the hydrogen atom. The positively charged bromine atom is attacked by this carbon atom, forcing it out of the molecule.

Then, another molecule of CH3-CH2- interacts with the bromine ion (Br-) to generate CH3-CH2Br-. The last step in converting from this intermediate to CH3-CH3 is deprotonation by NaH.

This reaction illustrates nucleophilic substitution well and may be utilised to transform various alkyl halides into the appropriate alkane.
