Strong nucleophiles you need to know [with study guide & chart]
What are strong nucleophiles? Strong nucleophiles: Strong nucleophiles…this is why molecules react. The nucleophilic site of the nucleophile is the region of a molecule that is reactive and has the electron density. Strong nucleophiles are VERY important throughout organic chemistry, but will be especially important when trying to determine the products of elimination and …
