Expert Solution
Step 1: Define nucleophile & electrophile

Nucleophile is a species which is electron rich. It has having negative charge or lone pair of electrons to donate.

It attacks at positively charged centre.


An electrophile is a species that is electron-deficient. It is positively charged or has vacant orbitals to accept electrons.

It attacks the electron rich centre
