Question
Chapter 5.3, Problem 4P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: From the given compounds electrophiles and nucleophiles should be identified.
Concept introduction:
Nucleophiles are the electron rich species and it can share at least a pair of electron. Nucleophiles have negative charge.
Electrophiles are electron deficient species; they look for a pair of electrons. An electrophile has a positive charge, a partial positive charge or an incomplete octet that can accept electron.
