Which of the following statement is incorrect?
Substrates provide a carbon atom for the formation of a new bond
Reagents often carry negative or positive charge
Reaction mechanism may involve intermediates or transition states
Reagent can never provide a Carbon atom for the formation of a new bond
Reagents may provide a carbon atom to the new bond formed after a reaction.
For example, if we look at the following reaction:
Here, Benzene and Methylchloride both provide a Carbon atom for the formation of the new C-C bond in toluene.
