Substitution Reactions are those reactions in which one nucleophile replaces another nucleophile present on a substrate. These reactions can take place via two different mechanism i.e SN¹ or SN². In SN¹ substitution reactions the leaving group leaves first forming a carbocation and nucleophile attacks carbocation in the second step. While in SN² reactions the addition of Nucleophile and leaving of leaving group take place simultaneously.
Example:
OH⁻ + CH₃-Br → CH₃-OH + Br⁻
In above reaction,
OH⁻ = Incoming Nucleophile
CH₃-Br = Substrate
CH₃-OH = Product
Br⁻ = Leaving group
Organic reactions are typically slower than ionic reactions because in organic compounds the covalent bonds are first broken, this breaking of bonds is a slower step, while, in ionic compounds no bond breakage is required as it consists of ions, so only bond formation takes place which is a quicker and fast step.
Answer:
C. It is hard to recreate the extremely high temperatures and pressures found inside stars.
Explanation:
Nuclear fusion occurs when atomic nuclei are forcefully combined to create a new atomic nuclei or subatomic particles. In nature, this process takes place in our Sun and other stars. Within stars, extremely high temperatures and pressures are achieved and cause nuclear fusion to occur. Humans have not yet been successful in recreating the environment necessary to mimic this process.
