Which one of the following characteristics belongs to an electrophile?
- A It is any species having electron deficiency which reacts at an electron rich C-centre
- B It is any species having electron enrichment, that reacts at an electron deficient C-centre
- C It is cationic in nature
- D It is anionic in nature
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) It is any species having electron deficiency which reacts at an electron rich C-centre
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Electrophiles are electron deficient species (neutral or cationic). They attack on electron rich C-atom.
