wat do u mean by both r wrong

well i read some very gud views above but

carbenes are neutral eleltrophiles so they hav same nucleophilic caracter

but i feel that i m seriously rong somewhere [7][7]

do u have some source or r just sharing ur views (and making us doubtful)
please do tell us to which u r sure off

It means that according to the ans both have same nucleophilic strength

Cl to bahut bada hai aur kuch steric hindrance pose karega attack main so i go with

:CH2

karan9989 gupta ·

in the ans both the ans i.e. which one is a better nuceophile are marked wrong but i feel as Richa said Back bonding will be there and More over Cl is strongly electronegative it will decrese the intensity if eletrons on C therefore weakening the nucleophilic strength

in ccl2 the cl donates its lone pair to c empty orbital thus enriching it .it s very significant in 2 n 3 period elements . by the way wat s the ans of this q

Mani Pal Singh ·

could u please tell us something about that so that we may also know about it

i m sure backbonding ccl2 me hoti hai inorganic me pada tha par yahan usse use karna hai kya pata nahi

Arey, yeh complex terminology ko chodo.......back bonding and orbital resonance!! Speak in terms which everyone can understand!!

backbonding in CCl2

I NEVER HEARD ABOUT IT[2]

DO TELL IF U KNOW[1]

vector ·

actually i wanted to ask fr backbonding then we ve opposite ans na crrct me if wrong

@RICHA even then we ll get the same ans....

11
Mani Pal Singh ·

cud we see d orbital resonance here just asking

@richa i coudnt get u could u explain clearly[1]

1
vector ·

then we ll get opposite ans

cud we see d orbital resonance here just asking

aur Cl tho e- withdrawing bhi hai....us carbon ki positive charge aur bhi badegi.......isliye :CH2 hi better nucleophile hai
