Why does SO3 act as an electrophile?

The oxygen atom is more electronegative than sulphur atom and therefore can withdraw electron density towards themselves, creating partial negative charge on itself while partial positive charge is generated on sulphur atom. Hence SO3 becomes electron deficient and hence can act as an electrophile.

Explanation:
*╔═══❖•ೋ° °ೋ•❖═══╗*
so3acts as an electrophile
because three highly
electronegative oxygen atoms
are attached to Sulphur atom
in which makes Sulphur atom
electron deficient.
It can be shown by resonance.
Sulphur gets •ve charge and
acts as an electrophile
