To determine the order of nucleophilicity, basic character, and fugacity for the ions \( F^- \), \( Cl^- \), \( Br^- \), and \( I^- \), we can analyze each property step by step. ### Step 1: Nucleophilicity Nucleophilicity refers to the ability of a species to donate a pair of electrons. In this case, we are looking at the halide ions. 1. **Size and Charge Distribution**: As we move from \( F^- \) to \( I^- \), the size of the ions increases. Larger ions have more dispersed negative charge, which reduces ion pairing and increases nucleophilicity. 2. **Order of Nucleophilicity**: Therefore, the order of nucleophilicity is: \[ ...
