In the reaction below, label each reactant as a nucleophile or an electrophile. In the reaction below, label each reactant as a nucleophile or an electrophile.

Electrophile

A reactive species that seeks out electrons and is attracted to electron-rich sites, often participating in chemical reactions by accepting an electron pair.

Nucleophile

An entity in chemistry that transfers a pair of electrons to an electrophile, enabling the formation of a chemical bond as a part of the reaction process.

  • Apply knowledge of chemical reactivity to label reactants in reactions as either nucleophiles or electrophiles.
