Question

For SN2 reaction mechanism between Methyl bromide and hydroxide ion. Explain -
i) Backside attack of nucleophile
ii) Transition state containing pentacoordinate carbon.​

Answer 1

Answer:

sn2 mean (biomolecular substitution nucleophilic reaction)

Explanation:

means it 1 step and second order reaction ,rate of reaction proportional to both substact and nucleophile

so,hence hydroxyde ion attack on lack of electron region meas nucleus and which stronger than br- so,

hve remove and form intermediate step and quickly yield to final product methanol
