◆nucloeophile
--A nucleophile is a chemical species that donates an electron pair to an electrophile to form a chemical bond in relation to a reaction. All molecules or ions with a free pair of electrons or at least one pi bond can act as nucleophiles. Because nucleophiles donate electrons, they are by definition Lewis bases.


◆nucleofuge
--A nucleofuge (derived from nucleo, nucleus, the positive part in an atom and fuge, fugetive, to run away, to escape) is a leaving group which retains the lone pair from its previous bond with another species.
