22
Q

Define: Base

A

A substance that accepts H⁺ ions

23
Q

Define: Nucleophile

A

Electron Pair Donor

24
Q

Name of Mechanism: Reaction of 1° Amine & Halogenoalkane

A

Nucleophilic Substitution

25
Q

Quaternary Ammonium ions have long ____ hydrocarbon chains which are ____ in water

A

Non-Polar

Not Soluble

26
Q

Type of Reaction: Nitriles to Primary Aliphatic Amines

27
Q

Why are Aromatic Amines Weaker Bases than Ammonia?

A

Lone Pair on N is less able to accept H⁺ as it is Delocalised into the Benzene ring (e⁻ density on N decreases)

28

Quaternary Ammonium Ions are ____ charged (____)

The Ionic region is ____ in water

A

Positively
Cationic
Soluble

29
Q

Why are 1° Aliphatic Amines Stronger Bases than Ammonia

A

Lone Pair on N is more able to accept H⁺ as it is due to Positive Inductive Effect (e⁻ density on N increases)
