Concept explainers
(a)
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.
(b)
Interpretation:

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.
