MCQ
Nucleophile is a species that should have:
  • A
    A pair of electrons to donate.
  • B
    Positive charge.
  • C
    Negative charge.
  • D
    Electron deficient species.

Answer

  1. A pair of electrons to donate.
  1. Negative charge.

Explanation:

Nucleophile (nucleus-loving) is a chemical species that donates an, electron pair to an electrophile (electron-loving). Hence, a nucleophile should have either a negative charge or an electron pair to donate.

Thus, options (a) r and (c) are correct.
