a)

Interpretation:
Electrostatic potential maps of formaldehyde is given.The nature of the formldehyde carbon atom whether electrophilic or nucleophilic is to be stated and explained.
Concept introduction:
Electrostatic potential maps are used to identify at a glance the electron rich or electron poor atoms in molecule. In them the electron rich regions are shown in red and electron poor region are shown in blue.
To state and explain:
From the electrostatic potential map of formaldehyde the nature of the formldehyde carbon atom, whether it is electrophilic or nucleophilic.
b)

Interpretation:
Electrostatic potential map of methanethiol (CH3SH) is given. The nature of the sulfur atom in methanethiol, whether electrophilic or nucleophilic, is to be stated and explained.
Concept introduction:
