Three important factors determining the reactivity of nucleophilic reagents are considered. These are basicity, polarizabil-ity and the presence of unshared pairs of electrons on the atom adjacent to the nucleophilic atom, the alpha effect. The theoretical bases for these three factors are discussed. Experimental data for a number of substrates are given which make it clear that the reactivities of some substrates depend almost entirely on basicity of the nucleophile, and some substrate reactivities depend entirely on the polarizability. Substrates which resemble the proton in having a high positive charge and a low number of electrons in the outer orbitals of the central atom depend on basicity. Substrates with a low positive charge and with many electrons in the outer orbitals of the central atom depend on polarizability. The alpha effect appears to be general for all substrates.
