Complete Fig. 4.1 by showing the intermediate structure and the mechanism for this reaction. Charges, dipoles, lone pairs of electrons and curly arrows should be included where needed.
Explain why 2-chloro-2-methylpropane is formed in a higher yield than 1-chloro-2-methylpropane in this reaction.
Using Fig. 4.2 and Table 4.1, identify the functional group in T and name the reaction type that takes place.
Write an ionic equation to show the formation of the yellow precipitate made when $\text{M}$ reacts with $\text{AgNO}_3\text{(aq)}$ in ethanol.
State which reagent, $\text{Q}$ or $\text{M}$, will form a precipitate more rapidly when each is added to $\text{AgNO}_3\text{(aq)}$ in ethanol. Explain your reasoning.
When pure $\text{T}$ is added to alkaline $\text{I}_2\text{(aq)}$, a yellow precipitate and an anion, $\text{L}$, are formed. Identify the anion $\text{L}$.
Deduce the structure of the straight-chain halogenoalkane $\text{M}$.
