Question

what is electrophilies and necleophiles

Answer 1

All through the series on understanding where electrons are, and how they flow, we’ve been talking about how the basis of chemistry is that opposite charges attract and like charges repel, and that in reactions, electrons flow from “electron rich” areas to “electron poor” areas.

Today, we’ll officially give a name to the types of species that are considered “electron rich“ and “electron poor”.

They’re called nucleophiles and electrophiles.
