IB Chemistry 3.4.1 Nucleophiles Questions
Practise identifying nucleophiles and explaining their Lewis base role through lone-pair donation to electron-deficient carbon atoms.
How this is tested
- identify ions such as CN⁻ or OH⁻ as nucleophiles and Lewis bases
- explain nucleophiles by stating they donate a lone pair of electrons
- outline nucleophilic attack on a partially positive carbon in organic reactions
