it must be ROR as the +I effect of both the alkyl gps increase the electron density on oxygen to a considerable extent...

SO3 is an electrophile hence it cannot be considered as nucleophile.


Nucleophilicity decreases with increasing electronegativity of the attacking atom. Hence the order would be RNH2 >ROR

i may be wrong, but could u please explain why the order of nucleophilicity decreases with increasing electronegativity of the attacking atom....

nuecleophilicity decreses  wid increasin elctronegativity of d attckin atom


coz if d atom is more elctronegative then it will nt easily give away itz elctrons thus they wud b bonded by a strong force to d nucleus


nuecleophilicity decreses  wid increasin elctronegativity of d attckin atom

i do think it should be NH2.+m effect  depends on Electronegativity only for elements of same period.got it you dumbheads.

please explain there is presence of two lone pair in oxygen while only one in nitrogen

ROR is the most nucleophilic among the three. as the 2 electron donating alkyl groups increase electron density on O-atom so it can easily donate its lone pair of electrons to an electrophile.
In case of RNH2 Only one alkyl group is present so electron density in this case dose not increase to much extent. so it is a weak nucleophile than ROR.
in SO3 both S and O atom r electronegative, so it should be the weakest among the three

i htink ror is the more nucleophilic coz it has got +i effect which would increase the electron density


nd it will be able to attack more easily the electrophile.
