Answer 2

Among the given intermediates, carbocation, nitrene, carbene and free radical are electron deficient.

• Carbocation is a reactive intermediate in which the central atom contains a sextet of electrons and is positively charged.
• In Nirenes (R-N), the nitrogen atom does not have a formal charge but is electron deficient.
• Carbenes (CR₂) are also electron-deficient species. It is of two types- singlet and triplet carbene.
• Free radical contains an odd number of electrons and is also electron deficient.
