For (i) \(I^-\) (ii) \(Cl^-\)(iii) \(Br^-\), the usual increasing order of nucleophilicities would be
- A \(Cl^-\ <\ Br^-\ <\ I^-\)
- B \(I^-\ <\ Cl^-\ <\ Br^-\)
- C \(Br^-\ <\ Cl^-\ <\ I^-\)
- D \(I^-\ <\ Br^-\ <\ Cl^-\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(Cl^-\ <\ Br^-\ <\ I^-\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Nucleophilicity increases with size down the group due to decreased solvation in protic solvents and increased polarizability. Increasing order: \(Cl^- < Br^- < I^-\)

Does the number of species in a community really matter to the functioning of the ecosystem? This is a question for which ecologists have not been able to give a definitive answer. For many decades, ecologists believed that communities with more species, generally, tend to be more stable than those with less species. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) (2004), the total number of plant and animal species described so far is more than 1.5 million.
