Determine if each of the following statements is true or false
1 Larger atoms are better nucleophiles due to polarizability.
2 The identity of the nucleophile affects the rate of an SN1
reaction.
3 SN2 reactions proceed via frontside attack.
4 Bimolecular reactions tend to be stereoselective.
5 SN2 reactions invert all stereocenters in a haloalkane.
6 Cl-, OH-, and H- are good all leaving groups.
7 Good bases tend to be good nucleophiles
8 Branching adjacent to a reacting carbon slows SN2 reactions due
to steric hindrance.
9 SN1 reactions are slowed by hyperconjugation of the carbocation
intermediate.
10 The rate determining step for SN1 reactions is the same as the
rate determining step for E1 reactions.
11 It is possible to get E1 alone but SN1 is always accompanied by
E1.
12 Leaving group ability depends only on pKa of the conjugate
acid.
13 Good nuclephiles are also good leaving groups.
14 Protic solvents solvate large ions better than small ions
because of increased surface area.
15 Steric hindrance is a major factor in determining between SN2
and E2 mechanisms.
16 Backside attack always converts R to S and vice versa.
17 Nucleophile ability is solely dependent on the pka of the
conjugate acid.
18 A high concentration of good nucleophile will increase the ratio
of SN1 product to E1 product
1) true ( reason is due to polarizability given in statement)
2)false ( nucleophile does not involve in rate determining step)
3)false ( it is an inverse attack , attacks from backside)
4) true
5) false ( it inverts stereo centres which are being attacked)
6) false (not H-)
7) true ( strong bases are good nucleophiles)
8) true ( because of steric hindrance)
9)false ( ther are stabilized by hyper conjugation)
10) false
11) true ( E1 can be at high temperatures)
12)false ( leaving ability depends on reaction rates)
13) false( good bases are good nucleophiles but weak basea are good leaving groups)
1. Correct, larger the atom better the nucleophilie. Example, iodide is good nucleophilie than Chloride
2. Incorrect, since sn1 rate depends only on alkyl halide
3. Incorrect, SN2 reaction is back side attack.
4. Incorrect
5. Incorrect, only reacting center gets inversion
6. Incorrect
7. Incorrect
8. Correct, SN2 reaction is affected by steric crowd
9. Incorrect, Hyperconjugation enhance the stability of carbocation intermediate.
10. Correct, both SN1&E1 are first order kinetics. Rate depends only on alkyl halide.
