Question

Both bromoethane (CH₃CH₂Br) and ethyllithium (CH₃CH₂Li) electrostatic potential maps are displayed. Which do you believe is which, based on their polarity patterns?

Electrostatic potential map A shows bromoethane (CH3CH2Br) with distinct polarity patterns.

Accepted Answer

Map A is CH₃CH₂Br and Map B is CH₃CH₂Li

Answer

Map A is CH₃CH₂Li and Map B is CH₃CH₂Br
