NEETChemistryGeneral Organic Chemistry
What are the two primary scenarios in which electron displacement can occur in an organic molecule?
Options
- AIn the presence of an attacking reagent or when a substituent group is present
- BWhen a molecule is in the ground state or excited state
- CWhen the molecule is heated or cooled
- DNone of the above
Correct answer
A. In the presence of an attacking reagent or when a substituent group is present
Step-by-step solution
Electron displacement may occur either "in the ground state under the influence of an atom or a substituent group or in the presence of an appropriate attacking reagent."
