Answer:

What is Electrophile?

Positively loaded or neutral species are called electrophiles that are deficient in electrons and can accept a couple of electrons. These are also called species that love electron (philic).

The term electrophile can be split into “electro” derived from electron and “phile” which means loving.
They are electron deficient and hence electrons loving.
They are positively charged or neutrally charged.
They attract electrons. Movement of electrons depends on the density.
They move from high-density area to low density area.
They undergo electrophilic addition and electrophilic substitution reactions.
An electrophile is also called as Lewis acid.

What is Nucleophile?

A nucleophile is a reagent comprising an unparalleled or lone electron pair atom. As a nucleophile is wealthy in electron, it looks for deficient electron locations, i.e. nucleus means loving nucleus. Nucleophiles act as Lewis bases, according to Lewis ‘ notion of acids and bases.

The term nucleophile can be split into “nucleo” derived from the nucleus and “phile” which means loving.
They are electron rich and hence nucleus loving. They are negatively charged or neutrally charged.
They donate electrons.
Movement of electrons depends on the density.
They move from low-density area to high-density area.
They undergo nucleophilic addition and nucleophilic substitution reactions.
A nucleophile is also called as Lewis base.

Explanation:

ELECTROPHILE , NUCLEOPHILE

Also called as Lewis base

They are negatively charged / neutral

They undergo nucleophilic addition and nucleophilic substitution reactions

It accepts a pair of an electron to form a covalent bond

All carbocations

Example: Hydronium Ion Example: Chloride Ion
