The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following orders is incorrect, we need to analyze the provided statements step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Nucleophilicity - **Nucleophilicity** refers to the tendency of a species to donate an electron pair to an electrophile. - Generally, nucleophilicity increases with decreasing stability of the nucleophile. Less stable nucleophiles are more reactive. - Comparing the nucleophiles: 1. **H2O**: Very stable, least nucleophilic. 2. **OH-**: More nucleophilic than H2O due to the negative charge. 3. **OCH3-**: The methyl group (CH3) has a +I effect, which destabilizes the negative charge, making it more nucleophilic than OH-. 4. **CH3-**: Least stable and most nucleophilic due to the lack of electronegativity in carbon. **Correct Order**: CH3- > OCH3- > OH- > H2O ### Step 2: Analyze Leaving Groups - The stability of a leaving group is crucial; more stable leaving groups are better at leaving. - Comparing the leaving groups: 1. **Nitrogen with a negative charge**: Less stable due to lower electronegativity. 2. **Oxygen with a negative charge**: More stable due to higher electronegativity. 3. **O-**: Stabilized by resonance, making it a good leaving group. 4. **Cl-**: Has a vacant d-orbital, allowing it to stabilize the negative charge. **Correct Order**: Cl- > O- > Nitrogen (less stable) ### Step 3: Analyze Alkene Stability - Alkene stability is often determined by hyperconjugation, which depends on the number of alpha hydrogens. - Comparing the alkenes: 1. **Alkene with 10 alpha hydrogens**: Most stable. 2. **Alkene with 7 alpha hydrogens**: Less stable than the first. 3. **Alkene with 4 alpha hydrogens**: Less stable than the second. 4. **Alkene with 1 alpha hydrogen**: Least stable. **Correct Order**: 10 alpha H > 7 alpha H > 4 alpha H > 1 alpha H ### Step 4: Analyze Boiling Points - Boiling point is directly proportional to molar mass. - Comparing the halogens: 1. **Iodine**: Highest molar mass, highest boiling point. 2. **Bromine**: Lower than iodine but higher than chlorine. 3. **Chlorine**: Lower than bromine. 4. **Fluorine**: Lowest molar mass, lowest boiling point. **Correct Order**: I > Br > Cl > F ### Conclusion After analyzing all statements, the incorrect order is related to the boiling points of the halogens. The statement claiming a different order than I > Br > Cl > F is incorrect. ### Final Answer The incorrect order is related to the boiling points of halogens, specifically option D. ---
