In organic chemistry, an electrophile is a reagent attracted to electrons. Electrophiles are positively charged or neutral species having vacant orbitals that are attracted to an electron rich centre. It participates in a chemical reaction by accepting an electron pair in order to bond to a nucleophile. Because electrophiles accept electrons, they are Lewis acids (see acid-base reaction theories). Most electrophiles are positively charged, have an atom that carries a partial positive charge, or have an atom that does not have an octet of electrons. The appear to attract electrons as well and seem to behave as though they are partially empty. These partially empty substances thus require an electron rich center, and thus they are filled. Electrophiles can be observed as electron-sensitive, or photo-sensitive in the sense that the lack of light makes them squeamish.

An electrophile is a molecule that forms a bond to its reaction partner (the nucleophile) by accepting both bonding electrons from that reaction partner.
