It depends on the number of valence electrons required to make octet or duplet( in case of H). For example, Nitrogen(atomic number = 7) has electronic configuration(2,5) which means nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and requires 3 more electrons to complete its octet. After gaining 3 electrons from atoms of an element with less electronegativity than N, it forms nitride ion (
). Hope this helps.
Answer:
Ether
SN1 mechanism
Explanation:
The nucleophile in this reaction is CH3OH. It is a poor nucleopile. We already know that a poor nucleophile reacting with a tertiary alkyl halide often leads to the substitution product as the major product.
Also, the iodide ion is a good leaving group. This makes the SN1 substitution more likely yielding the ether as the major product as shown in the image attached.
