Question 6

Describe the trend of increasing basicity and nucleophilicity

Answer 6

Increases from right to left

Question 7

Describe the trend of increasing alkene and carbocation stability

Answer 7

More substituents on a 3° Carbon = more stable

The less Hydrogen atoms off the original carbon atom, the better
