Be sure to answer all parts. draw the product of the lewis acid-base reaction. label the electrophile and nucleophile. br2 + febr3

Respuesta :

Br₂ + FeBr₃----->Br-Br-FeBr₃  

In this reaction,  FeBr₃, is a electron-deficient species that is it act as a lewis acid.

While Br₂, donates its electron to  FeBr₃.

Br₂, act as a electrophile while FeBr₃ is a lewis acid.

Futher if Br₂, undergoes a reaction an aromatic ring , then that ring will attack Br₂, and it acts as a electrophile.

Answer:

The complete reaction is given below

Br₂ + FeBr₃----->Br-Br-FeBr₃

It is a decomposition reactions.
