Question
Answer
Substitution reactions and elimination reaction both deal with:   Alkyl halides --> RX (F, Br, Cl, I)  
🗑
What halogen is electronegative?   Chlorine  
🗑
Halogens don't like sharing ___.   Electrons  
🗑
Halogens want to do what with electrons?   Steal them away and break themselves away.  
🗑
Substitution reactions are similar to what kinds of reactions?   Acid-base reactions  
🗑
Nucleophile (def.)   Likes positive particles  
🗑
Sub. Rxn - What does "RX" represent?   Substrate  
🗑
Sub. Rxn - What does "Nu: ¯" represent?   Nucleophile  
🗑
Sub. Rxn - What does "X: ¯"   Leaving Group  
🗑
Substrate of Sn1   3º or 2º (requires formation of a relatively stable carbocation)  
🗑
Substrate of Sn2   Methyl > 1º > 2º (requires unhindered substrate)  
🗑
Nucleophile of Sn1   Weak Lewis base, neutral molecule, nucleophile may be the solvent (solvolysis)  
🗑
Nucleopphile of Sn2   Strong Lewis base, rate favored by high concentration of nucleophile  
🗑
Solvent in Sn1   Polar protic (e.g., alcohols, water)  
🗑
Solvent in Sn2   Polar aprotic (e.g., DMF, DMSO)  
🗑
Leaving group in both Sn1 and Sn2   I > Br > Cl > F (the weaker the base after the group departs, the better the leaving group  
🗑
Carbocation (def.)   Positively charged organic compound  
🗑
Most stable substrate:   3º  
🗑
Least stable substrate:   Methyl  
🗑
What are the only type of hydrocarbons involved in Sn1 and Sn2 reactions?   Alkyl Halides  
🗑
The strongest base will be the _______ leaving group.   Worst  
🗑
The weakest base will be the ________ leaving group.   Best  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
