Interpretation:
The elctrophilic and nucleophilic centers in the given hypothetical compound has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Electrophile: It is positively charged species which seeks for negative charge and hence accepts pair of electrons from negatively charged species (Nucleophiles) which results in the formation of
Electrophiles have a specific atom or region of the molecule which is electron deficient. This region is called the electrophilic center.
Nucleophile: It is negatively charged species which seeks for positive charge and hence donate pair of electrons to positively charged species (electrophiles) which results in the formation of chemical bond.
Nucleophiles have a specific atom or region of the molecule which is electron excess. This region is called the Nucleophilic center.
