The nucleophilicity nature increases as we move to the left of periodic table or may be said that, it decreases along a row. And nucleophile is a species which donates its lone pair to form bonds with the electrophile. So molecule which can easily share its lone pair, will be the better nucleophile. Since O is electronegative than N,-OH- and CH3COO- will not provide electrons with ease as that of -NH2. Stronger the conjugate ion less will be the nucleophilicity. So order of nucleophilility is: CH3COO- < OH- <NH2- 111. Which is hydrolysed to a maximum extent ? (a) (b) (c) (d) Among the deri
