Question
Chapter 5.6, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: From the given compounds electrophiles and nucleophiles should be identified.
Concept introduction:
Nucleophiles are the electron rich species and it can share at least a pair of electron. Nucleophiles have negative charge.
Electrophiles are electron deficient species; they look for a pair of electrons. An electrophile has a positive charge, a partial positive charge or an incomplete octet that can accept electron.

Identify and label the nucleophile and electrophile
When propene reacts with gaseous hydrogen bromide, HBr, two products, 1-bromopropane and 2-bromopropane are formed. The reaction is a two-step process in which the electrophilic attack occurs in the first step.
Identify the electrophile in this reaction
Draw a diagram showing the first step of the reaction that leads to the production of 2-bromopropane.
