Question

Q22. Which of the following is a nucleophile?
O (A) CH3OH
O (8) CO2
O (C) CH3CHO
O (D) CH3COOCH3​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is

A

HS

−

D

(CH

3

)

3

N

A nucleophile is a species that can donate electrons. It is either negatively charged or has excess electrons. Therefore, HS

−

is a nucleophile.

Also, 3

0

amines are also nucleophile as they contain lone pair of electron.

Answer 2

Answer:

$CH_{3}OH$  is a nucleophile.

Explanation:

$CH_{3}OH$ commonly called Methanol.

The substances which tend to donate pairs to electrophiles so as to form chemical bonds with them. Any ion or molecule which has an free electron pair or a pi bond having two electrons, have the ability to behave like nucleophiles.

Methanol has the tendency to donate electrons as well as hydrogen ions, which makes it a nucleophile.
