Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a characteristic feature of nucleophilic substitution reactions?
  • Step 1: Understand what a nucleophile is. A nucleophile is a species that donates an electron pair to form a chemical bond.
  • Step 2: Know what a leaving group is. A leaving group is an atom or group that can depart from the molecule during a reaction.
  • Step 3: Recognize that in nucleophilic substitution reactions, the nucleophile attacks the molecule and replaces the leaving group.
  • Step 4: Identify that the key feature of these reactions is the displacement of the leaving group by the nucleophile.
