To determine the decreasing order of SN2 reactivity of the given alkoxide nucleophiles: `Me3CO^(-)`, `MeCH2O^(-)`, and `Me2CHO^(-)`, we need to analyze the structures and steric hindrance of each alkoxide ion. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structures**: - **A**: `Me3CO^(-)` (tert-butoxide) - This alkoxide has three methyl groups attached to the central carbon. - **B**: `MeCH2O^(-)` (methanol alkoxide) - This alkoxide has one methyl group and two hydrogen atoms attached to the central carbon. - **C**: `Me2CHO^(-)` (isopropyl alkoxide) - This alkoxide has two methyl groups and one hydrogen atom attached to the central carbon. ...
