Q

Difference b/w electrophile & nucleophile

A
  • A nucleophile is usually negatively charged or neutral with a lone pair of electrons.
  • Electrophiles –> positively charged/neutral species with empty orbitals attracted to a centre rich in electrons.
  • nucleophiles accept protons, donates electrons
  • electrophiles donate protons, accept electrons
