How do you categorize Electrophiles?

Postby Isaac_Partida_1F » Fri Mar 17, 2017 8:08 pm

If an electrophile has more than one element how do you determine if it is an electrophile or nucleophile?

Do you have some examples Isaac? Pretty much every electrophile or nucleophile has more than one element.

An electrophile will generally have a + charge on the entire molecule or it will not have any lone pairs on the central atom.
