Carbon-carbon double bonds are electron-rich regions and are attacked by electrophiles (for example, ); they are not attacked by nucleophiles (for example, diethylamine, ). + reaction arrow with electrophilic addition written above + no reaction However, when the carbon-carbon double bond has a carbonyl group adjacent to it, the double bond reacts readily with nucleophiles by nucleophilic addition. + reaction arrow with nucleophilic addition written above For the following reaction, draw the structure of the resonance contributor that is attacked by diethylamine. + Include all valence lone pairs in your answer.

Explanation:

From the given information:

Carbon carbon double bonds , for example butene are attacked by electrophiles (electron deficient species that are capable of withdrawing electrons from electron rich centers) e.g HBr

So if HBr reacts with butene and an electrophilic addition reaction takes place , a product known as 2 - bromobutane is being formed.

BUT,  in the case of  diethylamine; popularly known as Et₂NH(a nucleophile) no reaction is formed.

i.e Et₂NH + butene →  NO REACTION

However; when the carbon-carbon double bond has a carbonyl group adjacent to it, it will turn to a carbonyl compound known as alkanone(ketones).

Now when Et₂NH react with buten-2-one , a reaction is formed. This type of reaction is Known as MIchael Reaction.

where the base in the reaction attracts a proton from the amine compound to form and ion known as amine ion which is a strong nucleophile

However, the nucleophile then in turns attack the - carbon of the conjugate thereby resulting into a resonance stabilized enolate anion.

The structure of this resonance contributor explained above is shown in the image attached below.              

for step 7 table c on the lab "newtons law of action"   the average time it took the car to travel .25 meters   was 1.92 seconds.

the average time it took the car to travel 0.50 meters was 2.61 seconds

hope this : )
