Question: On the basis of electrostatics (Coulomb attraction), predict which atom in each of the following organic molecules is likely to react with the indicated reagent.

On the basis of electrostatics (Coulomb attraction), predict which atom in each of the following organic molecules is likely to react with the indicated reagent. Write "no reaction" if none seems likely. (See Table 2-3 for the structures of the organic molecules.)
(a) Bromoethane. with the oxygen of HO-;
(b) Propanal, with the nitrogen of NH3
(c) Methoxyethane, with H+;
(d) 3-hexanone, with the carbon of CH3-
(e) Ethanenitrile (acetonitrile). with the carbon of CH3+;
(f) Butane, with HO-.
