Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The molecules or ions that can acts as nucleophile in nucleophilic substitution reactions have to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Nucleophile: A chemical species that donates an electron pair to form a
Electrophile: A chemical species that accepts an electron pair are called as electrophiles. Electrophiles are positively charged or neutral species having vacant orbitals that are attracted to an electron rich center. It takes part in
