Which of the following has the highest nucleophilicity ?

A

`F^(-)`

B

`OH^(-)`

C

`CH_(3)^(-)`

D

`NH_(2)^(-)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As the electronegativity of the atom decreases `(FgtOgtNgtC)`, its tendency to donate a pair of electrons, i.e. nucleophilicity increases. Thus `CH_(3)`, has highest nucleophilicity.

Alkyl halides undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions in which halogen atom is replaced by other atom. RX + Nu:^(-) to Nu-R + X^(-) These reactions follow S_(N)1 and S_(N)2 type mechanism, in which S_(N)1 takes place in two steps while S_(N)2 takes place in single step. Due to their tendency to undergo substitution by a large number of nucleophiles, they form a variety of products. Which of the following has highest nucleophilicity?
