In SN2 (Substitution Nucleophilic Bimolecular Reaction) reaction, both bond breaking and bond formation occur in the same step. Both attacking and leaving group are involved in the same rate-determining step. In SN2 reaction, as both groups are involved in the same step, therefore, requires more space on the reacting (attacking) carbon. The steric hindrance is less on primary carbon than that of the secondary and tertiary carbon atoms in a given reactant. Thus, the bromine atom attached to primary carbon (Carbon-4) is more reactive towards SN2 reaction. The order of carbon atom for SN2 reaction thus becomes primary > secondary > tertiary. On the other hand, the order becomes reverse in the SN1 reaction i.e. tertiary > secondary > primary.

Draw a Lewis structure for the following molecule, which only contains iodine and bromine atoms, and has an overall charge of -1. Type in the electronic geometry, molecular geometry, and hybridization into the appropriate box (sp, sp2, sp3, sp3d, or sp3d2). These answers will be graded based on their consistency with the Lewis structure that you draw. IBr4 Electronic geometry of 1 = Molecular geometry of 1 = Hybridization of 1 =
