Question

which serves as nucleophile. a.-OH. b.. -Alcl3. c. ZnCl2. d. +No2​

Answer 1

Answer:

OH-

Explanation:

Because this hydroxyl ion is an electron rich species, it can donate electrons easily

Answer 2

Option (a) is the answer

-OH serves as nucleophile:

Nucleophile:

• A nucleophile is a chemical entity that supplies an electron pair to electrophiles in order to form bonds in chemistry. Nucleophiles are compounds and ions with at least one pi bond and a free pair of electrons. Because they contribute electrons, nucleophiles are Lewis bases.

-OH Ions:

• Hydroxide has the chemical formula OH and is a diatomic anion. It is made up of an oxygen and hydrogen atom bonded together by a single covalent bond and has a negative electric charge. It is a substantial yet relatively minor component of water. It's a base, nucleophile, and catalyst all rolled into one.
