Ncert Exercises & Solutions

Which of the statements are correct about the above reaction?
1. (a) and (e) both are nucleophiles.
2. In (c) carbon atom is sp³ hybridized.
3. In (c) carbon atom is sp² hybridized.
4. (a) and (e) both are electrophiles.

(i, iii)

In the above reaction

H - a n d C l^{-}

both will ac as electron rich moities because of presence of negative charge, Hence react as a nucleophiles.

The Mechanism of above reaction is $S_{N} 2$ mechanism having halogen atom at ${sp}^{3}$ hybridised carbon. In this mechanism, the hetrolytic cleavage of C—Cl bond occur and formation of new bond in concerted manner via transition state formation. In transition state carbon atom is approximately ${sp}^{2}$ hybridised.
