@YusufHasan what u said regarding the basicity thing is true only for gaseous media right?
If no, then why there is a difference in relative basic strengths of 1,2 and 3 degree ammonia in aqueous phase .. my book reads that it's because of solvation effect ..where steric hindrance is a major factor..
So, in general if there is no mention of reaction media ..shall we consider it to be gaseous?
And regarding the 1,2 and 1,4 adduct .. yes, HSAB explains this ..but in my book it's written that addition of RLi to a,b unsaturated carbonyl compounds is exclusively 1,2 addition, whereas with G.R , it is mainly 1,4 addition .. why so? the electrophile and nucleophile are still the same...
Wikipedia gives this as the levelling effect of water
Any acid that is stronger than H3O+ reacts with H2O to form H3O+.
Therefore, no acid stronger than H3O+ exists in H2O. For example,
aqueous perchloric acid (HClO4), aqueous hydrochloric acid (HCl) and
aqueous nitric acid (HNO3) are a...
