An electrophile is a molecule that forms a bond to its reaction partner (the nucleophile) by accepting both bonding electrons from that reaction partner. Electrophilic reagents are Lewis acids. You've already seen that carbon dioxide is an electrophile. Below are some examples ofelectrophiles.

Answer:
(1) The species which are electron seeking species i.e. electron deficient species are called electrophiles or electrophilic centre
(2) A polyatomic electrophile has an electron deficient atom in it called the electrophilic centre.
(3) They are positively charged species like H^+, NO^+_2, or neutral molecules with incomplete octet of electrons like BF_3, AICl_3, etc.
