Questions and Answers

What is the first step in an electrophilic addition mechanism?

  • The alkene is converted into a carbocation
  • The electrophile attracts the loosely held electrons from the pi bond of an alkene (correct)
  • The carbocation reacts with a nucleophile to form a sigma bond
  • The pi bond of the alkene is broken

    • What is the result of the electrophile's attraction of the pi bond electrons?

  • The pi bond is strengthened
  • The nucleophile is formed
  • The alkene is converted into a carbocation
  • The electrophile forms a sigma bond to one of the carbons (correct)

    • What is the role of the carbocation in an electrophilic addition mechanism?

  • It breaks the pi bond
  • It acts as an electrophile (correct)
  • It acts as a nucleophile
  • It donates electrons to the alkene

    • What is the rate-determining step in an electrophilic addition mechanism?
