1.	What are electrophiles?
Answer» it contain positive charge and can accept a electrons. eg H+ is an electrophile which can accept a pair of electron from OH- to form H2O<br>Electrophile: A electrophile is a species (cation) which is electron deficient hence attacked by negatively charged or electron rich species.It participated in a chemical reaction by accepting an electron pair from nucleophile.common electrophiles are Cl+, NO2+, HSO3+\xa0etc.<br>Electrophiles means electron loving species. Or in other wordsThe positively charged or neutral species which are deficient of electrons and can accept a pair of electrons are called electrophiles. Eg., H3O+, Cl+, NO2+, BF3, AlCl3, etc.
