Answer:

Hey Mate,

Your Answer

Electrophiles are atoms or molecules known to be electron deficient and that carry a partial (or fully) positive charge and will seek an electron pair to form a covalent bond. ..

Nucleophile means "nucleus loving" which describes the tendency of an electron rich species to be attracted to the positive nuclear charge of an electron poor species, the electrophile . ... The more available the electrons, the more nucleophilic the system. Hence the first step should be to locate the nucleophilic center.
