Phenol and phenoxide ion both are stabilized by resonance. In case of phenol, the lone pair on oxygen atom get delocalize over the benzene ring and this causes a charge separation, i.e., positive charge on oxygen atom while negative charge is on the benzene ring. This type of resonance structures have small contributions to the […]

SN1 and SN2 products are same with (excluding stereoisomer): (a) In SN1 reaction, rearrangement of carbocation occurs, so it gives different product in SN1 reaction than SN2. (b) The given halide is tertiary, so here SN1 reaction is possible but SN2 is not possible due to steric hindrance. (c) Here secondary halide is given, it
