Distinguish between an electrophile and a nucleophile, with two examples of each.
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
An electrophile is an electron-deficient species that seeks a pair of electrons; NO2+ and BF3 are examples. A nucleophile is an electron-rich species that donates a pair of electrons; OH− and NH3 are examples.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
Every Lewis acid is an electrophile and every Lewis base a nucleophile.
