      This video was confusing and I felt that he rambled way too much about protic vs aprotic. I was also expecting the factors that affect nucleophile strength to be similar to the ones for base strength (electronegativity, resonance, induction, atom size). I didn't understand anything from this video.

  • @stavshmueli6932
    @stavshmueli6932 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    7:48 - I think "interacting" would be a more appropriate word than reacting here, since reacting sounds like the nucleophile reacts with the protic solvent and grabs its proton, which can lead to confusion. Interacting means that the nucleophile is being inhibited from being a good nucleophile since these interactions with the solvent prevent it from actually REACTING and taking a proton from it.

    • @bonbonpony
      @bonbonpony ปีที่แล้ว

      If the nucleophile is really strong, it actually _can_ react with the solvent instead of our electrophile. With aprotic solvents, it is less likely.

  • @pharaohgirgzz
    @pharaohgirgzz 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    yo. Basically:
    SN1 Rate=K[Electrophile]
    SN2 Rate=K[Electrophile][Nucleophile]
    Thats from what I remember. Not sure if its 100% correct.
    SN1: tertiary>secondary, primary(no reaction)
    SN2: primary>secondary, tertiary(no reaction)
    Thats probably all you need to know.
    Both SN1 and SN2 are similar to E1 and E2.
    Yeah. Cool story bro! I know. Bye.

    @junior1984able In a nutshell, SN1 occurs in tertiary carbons (possibly secondary, but it's rare) and it forms an intermediate carbocation. The rate determining step for SN1 is based on the stability of the substrate (Carbocation). In contrast, SN2 occurs mainly in methyl, primary, and secondary (slowly) carbons due to steric hindrance (which Sal explained quite well). SN2 also does not form an intermediate carbocation like SN1 reactions. Bro, watch the other vids for indepth understanding.

  • @AdmMusicc
    @AdmMusicc 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have a doubt. If there is more charge on a molecule, wont it have more ability to lose the extra electron since it has more electrons? Also, F- in this video, they said H+ reacts with F-, later quoting "F- does not react much bcz H2O surrounds it". Well, it is reacting with H2O? Nucleophiles are proton loving species. Please correct me where I went wrong.

    • @akhil-ng5yj
      @akhil-ng5yj 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      ChaoS Adm fluorine has more strength in holding its electrons, in comparison to Bromine. This is due to the electeon shielding effect i.e the inner electrons not allowing the nucleus to hold the outer electrons. Therefore the bromine can give away its electrons better than flurine.

    • @simthandetv9851
      @simthandetv9851 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nope. Nucleophilicity increases as you go down the group. F is a weaker nucleophile because it has the highest electronegativity and therefore clings to its electrons more. Iodine is the strongest nucleophile because it has the smaller electronegativity and therefore gives away an electron pair easily.

    • @bonbonpony
      @bonbonpony ปีที่แล้ว

      If after those 11 years you're still wondering (or for other people wondering about the same thing):
      Fluorine is the name of the element, in which atoms are neutral. Fluoride is a negatively-charged ion (anion) due to having an extra electron.
      In an F₂ molecule, two fluorine atoms are bonded with a single bond in which they share one of their electrons (out of 7 valence electrons that they have in their outermost shell), which makes them think that they both have a full octet, but they're still neutral.
      Meanwhile, fluoride ion is single and negatively charged, because it is surrounded by 4 lone pairs of electrons. Beside its usual 7 valence electrons in its outermost shell, it has one extra electron that contributes to this negative charge.
      Same thing applies for the nitrile group R-C≡N: which is neutral, versus the cyanide ion that has a negative charge on the carbon: ⊖C≡N
      Fluorite is a mineral form of calcium fluorite, CaF₂, which is an ionic compound made of Ca⊕⊕ cations whose two positive charges are balanced by two fluoride anions ⊖F each, in a crystalline grid.

      Group 7 elements are the only elements you really need to understand to use the concept of nucleophile strength/electronegativity. In an exam you'll get the paulin scale which will tell you all of the strengths of each element but most of them ain't relevant to A level students doing chemistry.
