Which of the following statements are correct about the above reaction ?A. (i) and (v) both are nucleophilesB. In (iii) carbon atom is `sp^(3)` hybridisedC. In (iii) carbon atom is `sp^(2)` hybridisedD. (i) and (v) both are electrophiles

Answer» Correct Answer - C
In the above reaction, `""^(-)OH` and `""^(-)CI` both are electron rich species as they are holding the negative charge. So, they are nucleophiles
The above reaction show `S_(N)2` mechanism, carbon of alkyl halide is `sp^(3)` hybridised.
During this mechanism, the breaking of C-X bond and formation of new bond (C-Nu) occur simultaneously through a transition state in which carbon atom is approximately `sp^(2)` hybridised.
