Neutral nucleophile among the following is:
Correct answer: B. :NH3
- A. CN:
- B. :NH3
- C. CI-
- D. C2H5O-
Explanation
NH3 has no net charge so, is neutral. It is nucleophile due to presence of lone pair on nitrogen atom. Therefore, option b is correct.

About Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are named and related to their carbon-halogen structure, polarity and reactivity. The key reactions are nucleophilic substitution by SN1 and SN2 mechanisms and elimination by E1 and E2 mechanisms, including how substrate structure, nucleophile, base, solvent and temperature influence substitution versus elimination.
