Is F a electrophile or nucleophile?

Is F an electrophile or a nucleophile? How about F-?

[DianaR2I]

F- is a nucleophile.

[Chiao-Wei Cheng 3e]

F is an electrophile because it is electron deficient. It has 7 valence electrons and wants to complete the full octet.

[Yasmine Choroomi 2C]

F is an electrophile because it needs one more electron to get the full octet. However, F- is a nucleophile because it would have an extra electron to give up!

[kristinalaudis3e]

F is an electrophile because it needs an electron. meanwhile, F- is a nucleophile because it has lone pairs to donate.

[Moura Girgis 1F]

F is an electrophile while F- is a nucleophile. F needs an electron while F- has an extra one.

[alebenavides]

f is an electrophile and f- is a nucleophile

[VincentLe_3A]

F would be an electrophile as it would need one more to get a full octet. On the other hand, F- is nucleophile as it has an extra electron.

[Gicelle Rubin 1E]

F would be an electrophile as it would need one more to get a full octet. On the other hand, F- is nucleophile as it has an extra electron.

Thanks for giving some more information! :)

[Matlynn Giles 2E]

F is a nucleophile

[Savana Maxfield 3F]

Maybe this is a silly question, but when did we learn this?

[Brooklyn Burgess 3L]

nucleophiles give electrons because they have many valence electrons

F- nucleophile

[Jennifer Fuentes 2K]

Although the use of molecular fluorine as an electrophilic fluorine source is often the cheapest and most direct method, F2 often forms radicals and reacts with C-H bonds without selectivity.

[Narin Maisha 2H]

F is an electrophile because it needs one more electron to complete an octet, while F- is a nucleophile because it has 1 electron that it can give up.

[Jennifer Kainth 3L]

Because it requires an electron, F is an electrophile. Meanwhile, because it possesses lone pairs to give, F- is a nucleophile.

[Tara Cumiskey 3K]

F is an eletrophile because it needs an electron, while F- is a nucleolphile because it has electrons to give.
