Chapter 5.3, Problem 7P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The electrophile reactant and nucleophile reactant in the given reaction has to be indicated.

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.
