Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given hypothetical compound nucleophilic center and electrophilic center should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Electrophile (negative-charge loving): A molecule or ion that accepts a pair of electrons to make a new covalent bond is called an electrophile.

Electrophiles are neutral or positively charged species, having vacant orbitals and attracted electron towards itself.

Nucleophiles (positive-charge loving): A nucleophile is a more reactant species that affords a pair of electrons to the electrophile or electrophilic center and forms a new covalent bond.

The carbon or other hetero atom in a molecule which is bearing negative charge or lone pair of electron is called as nucleophiles.
