Question

write the mechanism for the conversion of bromomethane into ethanol using water as the nuleophile​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The oxygen atom of water has two lone pairs and a d- charge (oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen). This suggests that water can behave an a nucleophile. Each hydrogen atom bears a d+ charge, so the molecule can behave as an electrophile as well. Many molecules can be both nucleophiles and electrophiles.

Answer 2

answer :

The oxygen atom of water has two lone pairs and a ◊- charge due to higher electronegativity. This suggests that water can donate an electron pair to an electron deficient center and thus can behave as a nucleophile. Again each hydrogen atom bears a ◊+ charge, so the molecule can behave as an electrophile as well.
