Which statements are true for an SN2 reaction?
1 One bond is broken as another bond is formed.
2 The formation of a transition state involves the collision of two molecules or ions.
3 A carbon atom in the transition state is bonded, either fully or partially, to five other atoms.

Answer is 1,2,3. Anyone can explain?

Guys another question here.Thanks .Ans for this is b.What is meant by the sentence"in which process is a transition element compound used rather than the element itself"

Yeah boss should be all 3.The sn 2 mechanism is substitution bimolecular whereby bond break and form at same time.So,unlike sn1 it occur at 1 go as both molecules collide at same time n this also causes the formation of 5 bonds(2 partially bond ,one that is going to break and another that is going to form.Look at the notes of halogenoalkane,it is sure explained better.

for A and D we use platinium for C we use Iron but for B we use vanadium oxide rather than vanadium so hope this answers ur question

Boss,this is like a fact H2so4 act as a reducing agent to both br2 and i2 but not cl2.I think that is what they want.Answer should be option 1 and 2.

for q22
a free radical ? well it would be one less hydrogen atom right ?
rule 1 take hydrogen from primary carbon atoms only as the secondary ones are stable very much stable than primary ones
u can take an hydrogen from ethyl group
from 3 methyl groups
so it would be 4 but the answer says 3?
well if u take hydrogen from the methyl at top or bottom it would still be same thing
so there are 3 different forms

we dont know the reactions of D will be same as that of H(hydrogen ) as the number of electrons and protons is still the same
so lets consider NH4cl+Cao u do know that it will form
CaO(s) + 2 NH4Cl(s) 2 NH3(g) + H2O(g) + CaCl2(s)
D is no exception here so 1 is correct
for option 2
we know that hydrolysis of cyanide gives an carboxyllic acid and ammonia
here is a base hydrolysis we have same number of D atoms as we would have expected for H atoms

for question 3

NH4+ yields NH3
but we dont have 4D atoms here we have only 1D so it is not possible
since 1 and 2 are correct option B seems the right option

Boss,sorry but what do u mean by that here is a base hydrolysis we have same number of D atoms as we would have expected for H atoms.
