Solution

Electrophile:

  1. They are positively or neutrally charged species with empty orbitals that are driven to an electron-rich center.
  2. They are basically electron-loving species.
  3. It is a chemical species that receives an electron pair from nucleophiles in order to form bonds. Because they can accept electrons, they are classified as Lewis acids.
  4. They have an atom with a partial positive charge or an atom without an octet of electrons that can accept electrons.
  5. The most prevalent reactions between electrophiles and nucleophiles are addition and substitution.
  6. Examples: H+,NO+,NO2+

Therefore, the reagent that takes away an electron pair is called an electrophile.
