1) Why is -SH a stronger nucleophile that -OH?

2) What determines how acidic a hydrogen in a hydrocarbon is? I presume the terminal carbons will have the most acidic hydrogens because of the stabilization of the carboanion. Also, will a carboanion in an allylic postion have the same stability because of resonance as a carbocation?

3) Will halides attached to bridghead positions react in any nuclephilic substituion or elimination reactions? It seems that all posibilites should be impossible, either because of steric hinderance, double-bonding at a bridgehead, or sp2 hybridization at the bridgehead.

4)When bromine and methyl are attached to the same carbon in a cyclohexane, which one will be strive to be equitorial?

Thank you!

1) Because it has a higher quantum number.
