Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The nucleophile and electrophile are to be interpreted in the substitution reaction between CH3I and NaOCH2CH3 .

Concept introduction: In a chemical reaction, various intermediates are formed. Some common examples of intermediates are electrophile, nucleophile, carbine, etc.

Electrophiles have a positive charge and are attracted toward an electronegative center. On the contrary, nucleophiles carry a negative charge and are attracted toward the electropositive center.
