Answer:
Iodide> Bromide > chloride > flouride
Explanation:
During a nucleophilic substitution reaction, a nucleophilie replaces another in a molecule.
This process may occur via an ionic mechanism (SN1) or via a concerted mechanism (SN2).
In either case, the ease of departure of the leaving group is determined by the nature of the C-X bond. The stronger the C-X bond, the worse the leaving group will be in nucleophilic substitution. The order of strength of C-X bond is F>Cl>Br>I.
Hence, iodine displays the weakest C-X bond strength and it is thus, a very good leaving group in nucleophillic substitution while fluorine displays a very high C-X bond strength hence it is a bad leaving group in nucleophilic substitution.
Therefore, the ease of the use of halide ions as leaving groups follows the trend; Iodide> Bromide > chloride > flouride
Answer:
Explanation:
Water is called the universal solvent. It is a polar molecule (105 degree angle between the H atoms) that gives it a + and a - side so to speak....which allows it to 'pull apart' substances....overcome their intra-molecular attractions to each other ...i.e. disssovle them
Answer:
2.01% to the nearest hundredth.
Explanation:
Percent error =[ (8.96-8.78) / 8.96]* 100
= 0.020089 * 100
= 2.0089 %
