Question

Relationship between Nucleophilicity, Basicity and Leaving group

Answer 1

Answer:

What's the difference between nucleophilicity and basicity?

Explanation:

First of all, remember that basicity is a subset of nucleophilicity. All nucleophiles are Lewis bases; they donate a lone pair of electrons. A “base” (or, “Brønsted base”) is just the name we give to a nucleophile when it's forming a bond to a proton (H+).

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Basicity is the ability of a group to receive proton (Brønsted) or to donate a lone pair (Lewis). ... Nucleophilicity is the ability of a group with a lone pair to form bonds with electron-deficient species. It is related to the rate of reaction and thus is a kinetic concept.
