Question

Write a note on eletrophile

Answer 1

Answer:

In chemistry, an electrophile is a chemical species that forms bonds with nucleophiles by accepting an electron pair. Because electrophiles accept electrons, they are Lewis acids. ... Electrophiles mainly interact with nucleophiles through addition and substitution reactions.

Answer 2

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. These species will seek an electron pair from organic molecules. The sites on these organic molecules are called 'electron rich.
