Chemistry
1 answer:
grin007 [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Ions are an atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons. They are formed when atoms lose or gain electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule and have full outer valence electron shells.

Explanation:

When they lose electrons, they become positively charged and are named cations. When they gain electrons, they are negatively charged and are named anions.

In substitution reactions, (CH3)3C-I reacts at the same rate with Br- and Cl- even though Br- is a more reactive nucleophile tha
Kamila [148]

Answer:

A. (CH3)3C-I reacts by SN1 mechanism whose rate is independent of nucleophile reactivity.

Explanation:

We must recall that (CH3)3C-I is a tertiary alkyl halide. Tertiary alkyl halides preferentially undergo substitution reaction via SN1 mechanism.

In SN1 mechanism, the rate of reaction depends solely on the concentration of the alkyl halide (unimolecular mechanism) and is independent of the concentration of the nucleophile. As a result of this, both Br^- and Cl^- react at the same rate.
