Question

i. Giving proper justification, categories the following as nucleophile or electrophile.
BF3, (CH3)3N.
ii. Write various contributing structures of CH2=CH-CHO and indicate what is the relative stability of these structures?
iii. Arrange the following in decreasing order of acidity & give reasons for your answer.
CH3CH2COOH, (CH3)2CHCOOH, HCOOH.​

Answer 1

Answer:

but why bro sorry I will not

Answer 2

Explanation:

electron deficit species are known as electrophile and nucleophiles are electron rich species therefore BF3 is electrophile and (CH3)3N is a nucleophile

ii) alkene and aldehyde

III) HCOOH<CH3CH2COOH<(CH3)2CHCOOH.

the element that can easily give up H+ ions will have more acidicity
