5
Q
What do curly arrows shows
A
Movement of electrons they move from lone pair to delta positive carbon
6
Q
Where do you put curly arrows
A
From nucleophile lone pairs to carbon -halogen bond
also from carbon and halogen bond to halogen
7
Q
This reaction can also be performed with water but it is slow as water is not such a good nucleophile as
A
as hydroxide ions as it only has a partial negative charge, instead of a full negative charge:
