Whoops.

1. The student should draw the lewis structure - this should be worked through using the whiteboard 2. From the lewis structure it can be identified that NH3 has 3 bonds and one lone pair of electrons ...

The negatively charged OH group attacks the backside of the Bromo-Methane (backside in the sense that it is the opposite side to which Bromine is bonded).

A transition state consisting of a central...

The experimental data given in the question will serve as a basis for comparison when answering the question. You must compare the initial rates of reaction given to the concetrations of the rectants. For...
