Principles of organic synthesis worksheet

Name:________________________

For each reaction in questions 1–3, add curly arrows to show the movement of electron pairs to produce
the products shown. In question 3 add the other product of the reaction into the box.

4) Ammonia is able to act as a nucleophile. When it reacts with a H + ion it forms an ammonium ion.
(a) Draw the shape of ammonia and of the ammonium ion. Indicate the bond angle(s)
