Description
The hydroxide ion is a good nucleophile since the oxygen atom has a negative charge and a pair of unshared electrons.
The carbon atom is electrophilic since it is bound to a (more electronegative)
halogen, which pulls electron density away from the carbon, thus polarizing the
bond with carbon bearing partial positive charge and the halogen bearing partial negative charge.
The nucleophile is attracted to the electrophile by electrostatic charges.
The nucleophile attacks the electrophilic carbon through donation of 2 electrons. Carbon can only have a maximum of 8 valence electrons, so as the carbon nucleophile bond is forming, then the carbon-leaving group bond must be breaking. Iodide is the leaving group since it leaves with the pair of electrons that once bound it to carbon.

CORPORATE AND BUSINESS LAWS NOTES
Trending!
‘Law’ means any rule of conduct, standard or pattern, to which actions are required to conform;
if not conformed, sanctions are imposed. When we speak of the law of a State, we use the term
‘law’ in a special and strict sense. In this sense, the term ‘law’ is defined in Oxford English
Dictionary as “the body of rules whether proceeding from formal enactment or from custom,
which a particular State or community recognises as binding on its subjects or members”. These
are rules which are recognised and acted on by courts of justice. Law may also be defined as rule
of conduct of persons (both natural and artificial), imposed upon and enforced among the
members of a given State.
