Answer 1

• In organic chemistry, nucleophilic substitution is a reactions in which an electron rich nucleophile bonds with or attacks the positive or partially positive charge of an atom to replace a leaving group. The positive or partially positive atom on which the nucleophile attacks is called an electrophile. The nucleophile replace the leaving group as the primary substituent in the reaction. For example, let us consider the reaction below. The nucleophile, leaving group and electrophilic carbon has been marked.

  NOTE- The black arrows indicate the flow of electrons. The red arrows are given to label the atoms only.
• So, the letter which designates the electrophilic carbon where substitution occurs - a.
• Letter corresponding to leaving group - d.
• Letter designating nucleophile - e.
