Problem 6-1
(a)
Substitution
(b)
Elimination
(c)
Addition
Problem 6-2
(a)
Carbon is electrophilic.
(b)
Sulfur is nucleophilic.
(c)
Nitrogens are nucleophilic (for reasons that will be explained in Chapter 15).
(d)
Oxygen is nucleophilic; carbon is electrophilic.
Problem 6-4
Bromocyclohexane; chlorocyclohexane
Problem 6-5
A central carbon with a positive charge is bonded to three methyl groups.

The mechanism is shown in Figure 6.4

Problem 6-8
1-Chloro-2-methylpentane, 2-chloro-2-methylpentane, 3-chloro-2-methylpentane, 2-chloro-4-methylpentane, 1-chloro- 4-methylpentane
Problem 6-10
Negative ΔG° is favored.
Problem 6-11
Larger Keq is more exergonic.
Problem 6-12
Lower ΔG‡ is faster.
