Which of the following species is an electrophile?
- A \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
- B NH \(_{3}\)
- C \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}\)
- D \(\mathrm{SO}_{3}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\mathrm{SO}_{3}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Electrophiles are electron loving chemical species. These may be either positively charged or electrically neutral species. \(\mathrm{SO}_{3}\) can be written as a resonance hybrid of the following structures.
Due to the presence of a positive charge on \(\mathrm{S}\), it acts as an electrophile.
Due to the presence of a positive charge on \(\mathrm{S}\), it acts as an electrophile.
