In the following questions two or more options may be correct.

Consider the following reaction and answer the questions.

Which of the statements are correct about the above reaction?

(i) (a) and (e) both are nucleophiles.

(ii) In (c) carbon atom is sp³ hybridised.

(iii) In (c) carbon atom is sp² hybridised.

(iv) (a) and (e) both are electrophiles.

 

<p><span data-teams="true">This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar</span></p><p>An <strong>S_N²</strong> nucleophilic substitution reaction occurs when <strong>CH³Cl</strong> interacts with the hydroxide ion to produce <strong>CH³OH</strong>. Both <strong>OH&nbsp;-&nbsp;</strong> and <strong>Cl&nbsp;-&nbsp;</strong>are nucleophiles with an excess of electrons in this reaction. Because the binding of <strong>OH&nbsp;-&nbsp;</strong> and the leaving of <strong>Cl&nbsp;-&nbsp;</strong>occurs simultaneously in the transition state (c), the carbon atom is linked to just three hydrogens. As a result, the carbon atom becomes <strong>sp²</strong> hybridised.&nbsp; Aand (C) are the right statements.</p><p><strong>Correct Answer:</strong> Option (A) and (C)</p>
