A table depicts formulas of some common nucleophiles. The table has two columns. The column headers are strong nucleophiles and weak nucleophiles. The column strong nucleophiles has I with four lone pairs of electrons and a negative charge, B r with four lone pairs of electrons and a negative charge, C l with four lone pairs of electrons and a negative charge, H S with three lone pairs of electrons and a negative charge on S, H O with three lone pairs of electrons and a negative charge on O, R S with three lone pairs of electrons and a negative charge on S, R O with three lone pairs of electrons and a negative charge on O, and N triple bond C with one lone pair of electrons on N, and one lone pair of electrons and a negative charge on C. The column weak nucleophiles has H 2 O with two lone pairs of electrons on O and R O H with two lone pairs of electrons on O.
