Case Study:- Read the passage given below and answer the following questions. (5)

Alcohols are versatile compounds. They act as both nucleophiles and electrophiles. The
bond between O-H is broken when alcohols act as nucleophiles.

a) Alcohols as nucleophiles.

b) The bond between C-O is broken when they act as electrophiles. Protonated alcohols
