What is an electrophile vs nucleophile?
Answers
Electrophile and nucleophile are the chemical species that donate or accept electrons to form a new chemical bond. ... Any molecule, ion or atom that is in some manner deficient in electron can act as an electrophile. A nucleophile is usually charged negatively or neutral with a lone couple of donable electrons.

Electrophilic substitutions involve displacement of a functional group by an electrophile (generally a hydrogen atom). Electrophiles are species that are attracted to electrons. Nucleophilic substitutions involve attack of a positively charged (or partially positively charged) atom or group by a nucleophile.
In other hand we can also called that the substance which attract towards electron that called electrophilic substance and the substance which attract towards nucleus that called nuclei philic substance
