Answer:
chemical properties and the same number of valence electrons
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The reaction of a benzyl bromide with a nucleophile may proceed by SN1 or SN2 mechanism depending on the nature of the solvent used.
Since SN1 reaction involves the formation of a carbocation, it usually predominates in the presence of a poor nucleophiles and protic solvents. Hence when methanol is used as solvent and a poor nucleophile is used, SN1 mechanism predominates.
However, when acetone which is an aprotic solvent is used in the presence of a good nucleophile, SN2 reaction mechanism predominates.
No it doesn't. The density of a gas depends on the temperature that is found. If it's hot the density reduces since its molecules spread, while at cold temperatures the density rises.
