Question

difference between nucleophiles and electrophiles

Answer 1

here is your answer...

# nucleophiles.. these are negative signed atoms
these have more electrons than required ..
they can donate electron pair...
nucleophile basically means...love to nucleus..


# electrophile .......
these are positive signed atoms..
these are electron defficient species..
they can accept electron pair...
electrophile basically means ....love to elections...

Answer 2

✡ Electrophile ✡

→ species which can accept electron or having lack of electrons

→ it includes cations like $X^{+} , Cl^{+} , N^{+}O_{2} , C^{+}H_{3} ,S^{+}O_{3}H$

→ it also includes  species in which central atom is attached with 2 or more electronegative atoms like $BeCl_{2} , Bf_{3},2NCl_{2},FeCl_{3}$

→  neutral molecules in which octet of central atom is incomplete

→ they are luis acid

✡ Nucleophiles ✡

→ species whiich can donate a pair of electrons

→ it includes all anions like $Cl^{-} ,F^{-} ,Br^{-} ,I^{-}$etc

→ also includes neytral molecules in which central atoms has lone pair
