Question
Chapter 25, Problem 49QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The property thatdistinguishes an electrophile from a nucleophile is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
An electrophile is a positivelycharged species. They are electron acceptors.
A nucleophile is a negativelycharged species. They are electron donors.

4. Define the terms nucleophile and electrophile and state what makes a molecule either nucleophilic or electrophilic.
Nucleophile:
Electrophile:
What makes atom nucleophilic or electrophilic?
True or false: The weaker a single bond in a molecule, the greater the chance it will be the site of a reaction (compared to stronger single bonds in the molecule).
Describe the difference between a base and a nucleophile (20 words or less). Show and label an example of a base and a nucleophile
