Categorise the following molecules/ions ad nucleophile or electrophile. (1) `HS^(Ө)` (2) `BF_3` (3) `C_2H_5O^(Ө)` (4) `(CH_3)_3 ddot N` (5) `C1^(Ө)` (6) `CH_3 - overset (oplus) C = O` (7) `:overset (Ө) NH_2` (8) `overset (oplus) N O_2`. |

Answer» Nucleophiles : `HS^(Ө), C_2 H_5 O^(Ө),(CH_3) _3 ddot N, overset (ddot (Ө)) N H_2` These species have unshareped pair of `overline e^, s` which can be donated and shared with an electrophile. Electrophilies : `BF_3, C1^(oplus), CH_3 - C^(oplus) = O, overset (oplus) NO_2` Relative sites have only six valence `overline e^, s` and can accept `overline e` pair from a nucleophile. |
