1. (1 pt) When a nucleophile bonds to an electrophile, both electrons for the new bond come from
the nucleophile
2. (1 pt) Underline the stronger nucleophile in each pair:
3. (1 pt) Write a balanced equation for the SN2 reaction of methyl iodide with sodium hydroxide.
CH3I + NaOH ----> CH3OH + NaI
4. (1 pt) Arrange the four types of alkyl halides (RF, RCl, RBr, RI) in order of increasing reactivity in an SN2 reaction.
RF < RCl < RBr < RI
5. (1 pt) Arrange the following in order of increasing boiling point:
CH3Br, CH4, CH3OH, CH3F
CH4 < CH3F < CH3Br < CH3OH
