Answer:
Nucleophiles are basically electron rich species which have the ability to donate electron pairs, as discussed earlier. Because of this electron pair donating tendency, all nucleophiles are Lewis Bases.
The word ‘nucleophile’ can be split into two parts, namely nucleus and philos. Philos is the Greek word for ‘love’. Therefore, nucleophiles can be thought of as Nucleus Loving species. These nucleophiles may have either a negative, or a neutral charge.
Hope this help :-)
