All SN2 reactions proceed with ____________ attack of the nucleophile, resulting in ____________ of configuration at a stereognic center. Spreading out charge by the overlap of an empty p orbital with an adjacent σ bond is called ____________ . Equilibrium favors the products of nucleophilic substitution when the leaving group is a ____________ base than the nucleophile. According the to Hammond postulate, the stability of the ____________ determines the rate of its formation. The formation of equal amounts of two enantiomeric products from a single starting material is called ____________ . A ____________ is an electron-rich compound, which donates a pair of electrons to an electron deficient compound, forming a covalent bond.

Answer 1

Answer:

Alkyl halides undergo SN2 reactions with Brønsted-Lowry bases. An ethene is a sp² hybridized and trigonal planar and contains a vacant p orbital. All SN2 reactions proceed with backside attack of the nucleophile, resulting in inversion of configuration at a stereognic center. Spreading out charge by the overlap of an empty p orbital with an adjacent σ bond is called hyperconjugation . Equilibrium favors the products of nucleophilic substitution when the leaving group is a weak base than the nucleophile. According the to Hammond postulate, the stability of the enthalpy determines the rate of its formation. The formation of equal amounts of two enantiomeric products from a single starting material is called racemic mixture . A lewis base is an electron-rich compound, which donates a pair of electrons to an electron deficient compound, forming a covalent bond.
