Question

Both bromoethane ($$CH_{3}CH$$_{2}$$Br) and ethyllithium (CH$$_{3}$$CH_{2}Li) $$electrostatic potential maps are displayed. Which do you believe is which, based on their polarity patterns?

Accepted Answer

Map A is $$CH_{3}CH$$_{2}$$Br and Map B is CH$$_{3}$$CH_{2}Li$$

Answer

Map A is $$CH_{3}CH$$_{2}$$Li and Map B is CH$$_{3}$$CH_{2}Br$$
