Question

The nucleophilic strength of $C{l}^{-}$ is more than $I^{-}$ in methanol.

If true enter 1, else enter 0.

Answer 1

Methanol is a polar protic solvent. As we know that when the reaction is carried out in polar protic solvents, the strength of nucleophile increases as we go down a row in the periodic table. Hence, $I^{-}$ is more nucleophilic than $C{l}^{-}$ in methanol. Hence, the given statement is false.
