  • Video is a mash up my separate AS and A level mechanism videos and looks at the essentials of the six mechanisms required for A level:
    Radical substitution
    Electrophilic addition
    Nucleophilic substitution (AS and A level)
    Electrophilic substitution
    Nucleophilic addition

      I hope paper 2 saves but I am a little less motivated because of the amount of work I put in revision for paper 1

      Jessica Egharevba this is exactly how I feel, the plan was to bang 80% on paper 1 so in case p2 or p3 flops I know I still have a chance for a B but nahhhh OCR loves to see its candidates in tears innit kmt

    So during nucleophilic addition , it’s ok to use either H2O or H+ as the intermediate, or are there specific reactions where you have to specify .
    Thx for ur videos :)

    • @thfreakin

      U can use either but i think ur less likely to make a mistake if u just use h+ as u dont have to show a dipole

      Hamzah Nazir I think you can only get 2,4,6 substituted but that has to be with phenol or phenylamine and the reagent being Br2. If reagent was Br2 & AlBr3 and you react it with benzene you’ll only get one substitution of the bromine

    One thing I struggle on is, how do u distinguish if it electrophilic addition/substitution or nucleophilic addition/substitution, how do u decide and spot it

    • @ellay910
      @ellay910 5 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      If it's addition then it's usually a double bond. Substitution means another molecule has to leave to put the new one in (if that makes sense) even if it's just a H+ ion, if there's more than one product (e.g CH3Cl +HCl) Its substitution

    For the formation of nitro benzene in the book it says the electrophile is formed like this: 2H2SO4 + HNO3 => HNO2+ + 2HSO4- + H3O+
    Should it be that or the 1 H20 and 1 H2SO4??
