Question

Which of the following statements is not correct for a nucleophile?

• A. Nucleophiles attack low $e^{-}$ density sites
• B. Nuclephiles are not electron seeking
• C. Nuclephiles is a Lewis acid
• D. Ammonia is a nuclephile

Answer 1

The correct option is C Nuclephiles is a Lewis acid

Nucleophiles are electron rich species which attack low electron density sites.They donate electron pair to an electrophilic to form a chemical bond is relation to a reaction.

All molecules ions with a free pair of electrons at least one pibond can act as nucleophiles.

So,the incorrect statement is "nucleophilies is a lewis acid".

It is wrong as electron donated by a neucleophilic,they are lewis bases.
