An organic reaction occurs through making and breaking of bonds. The breaking of bonds may occur either homolytically leading to the formation of radicals or heterolytically generating positively and negatively charged species. The neutral species (free radicals, carbenes, nitrenes, etc.) and positively charged species being electron deifcient are collectively called electrophiles while neutral and negatively charged species which are electron rich are called nucleophiles. An organic reaction usually involves the attack of a reagent (radicals, positively and negatively charged species) on the substrate molecule). The substrate molecule, although as a whole electrically neutral, has centres of low and high electron density due to displacement of bonding electrons. These electrons displacements occur through inductive, electromeric occur through inductive, electromeric, resonance and hyperconjugation effects. Whereas inductive effects involve displacement transfer of n-and `pi`-electrons along a conjugated system. Hypercongation effects, on the other hand, involve `sigma-pi`-conjugation. Both inductive and hyperconjugation effects can be used to explain the stability of carbocations and free radicals which follow the stability order: `3^(@) gt 2^(@) gt 1^(@)`. The stability of carbanions, however, follows opposite order. The stability of a molecule can be judged on the basis of contribution of its resonance structures. Resonance structures have same position of nuclei and have same number of unpaired electrons. Among resonance structures, the one which has greater number of covalent bonds, has less separation of opposite Charges, a negative charge on more electronegative and a positive charge on a more electropostive atom are more stable than others. Out of the following, the one containing only nucleophiles isA. `NH_(3), CN^(-), CH_(3)OH`B. `AlCl_(3), BF_(3), NH_(3)`C. `AlCl_(3), NH_(2)^(-), H_(2)O`D. `RNH_(2), :CX_(2), H^(-)`

Why it is necessary to use acetic acid and not sulphuric acid for acidification of sodium extraction for testing sulphur by lead acetate test ?

Answer» For testing sulphur, the sodium extract is acidified with acetic acid because lead acetate is soluble and does not interfere with the test. If `H_(2)SO_(4)` were used, lead acetate itself will react with `H_(2)SO_(4)` to form white ppt. of lead sulphate which will interfere with the test.

With proper justification, arrange the following in order of increasing stability `CH_(3)CH_(2)^(-), CH -= C^(-), CH_(2) = CH^(-)`.

Answer» In acetylide ion `CH -= C^(-)`, the carbon atom carrying the -ve charge is sp-hybridized and has 50% s-character : in `CH_(2) = CH^(-)` ion, the carbon atom is `sp^(2)`-hybridized and has 33.3% s-character while in `CH_(3)CH_(2)^(-)` ion, the carbon atom bearing the -ve charge is `sp^(3)`-hybridized and has 25% s-character.
Since s-electrons, on the average, are closer to the nucleus than p-electrons, therefore, a carbon atom with greater s-character can accommodate or stabilize the negative charge better than a carbon atom with smaller s-character. In other words, the stability of the carbanion increases as the s-character of the carbon atom carrying the negative charge increases. Now since the s-character of the carbon decreases as we move from sp to `sp^(2)` to `sp^(3)`-carbon, therefore, the relative stability of the three carbanions follows the sequence: `CH -= C^(-) gt CH_(2) = CH^(-) gt CH_(3)CH_(2)^(-)`.
