Which of the following is not an electrophile ?A. `SO_(3)`B. `overset(+)CH_(3)`C. `CH_(3)overset(+)CO`D. `(CH_(3))_(2)NH`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`(CH_(3))_(3)NH` is a nucleophile due to the presence of unshared `e^(-)` pair on `N` atom. In `SO_(3)` atom has low electron density as it is pi bonded to `3` highly electronegative `O` atoms. Moreover,`S` can expand its valence shell using its `d` subshell.
Therefore, `SO_(3)` is electrophilic. `overset(+)CH_(3)` and `CH_(3)overset(+)CO` are also electrophilic as they carry positively charged `C` atom.
