Question

Match list-I with list-II and choose the correct option.

• A. \( a(i), b(ii), c(iv), d(iii) \)
• B. \( a(iv), b(iii), c(ii), d(i) \)
• C. \( a(iv), b(iii), c(i), d(ii) \)
• D. \( a(iii), b(iv), c(ii), d(i) \)

Hint:

Nucleophiles donate electrons, and electrophiles accept them. Carbocations are sp\(^2\) hybridized and planar, while carbanions have a tetrahedral geometry.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The following terms are matched with their corresponding definitions:1.
Nucleophile:
A species that donates an electron. This corresponds to option (iv). 2.
Electrophile:
A species that accepts an electron. This corresponds to option (iii). 3.
Carbocation:
A positively charged, planar, sp\(^2\) hybridized carbon species. This corresponds to option (ii). 4.
Carbanion:
A negatively charged carbon species with a typically tetrahedral shape. This corresponds to option (i).The complete matching is:\[a(iv), b(iii), c(ii), d(i)\]
Final Answer: The correct option is (2).
