Nucleophilicity and basicity
« on: October 21, 2009, 11:02:39 AM »
I have read that basicity is compared by equlibrium and nucleophilicity by kinetics , then how do we compare basicity with nucleophilicity ??
That is if there is a negatively charged molecule and H+ and a carbocation , how do we come to know which will be attacked by the negatively charged molecule ?
