Explanation:
Electrophiles are atoms or molecules known to be electron deficient and that carry a partial (or fully) positive charge and will seek an electron pair to form a covalent bond. An example of an electrophile is a Lewis Acid. Other examples include Br+, Cl+, and CH3+.
Electrophiles are electron deficient species and can accept an electron pair from electron rich species. Examples include carbocations and carbonyl compounds. A nucleophile is electron rich species and donates electron pairs to electron deficient species. Examples include carbanions, water , ammonia, cyanide ion etc.
