Q. Statement 1: Electrophile are electron rich in nature
Statement 2: $H _3 O ^{+}, BF _3$ and $AlCl _3$ are electrophile and can accept electron pair

Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution:

Electrophiles are electron deficient while nucleophiles are electron rich in nature, ie, electrophile can accept an electron pair while nucleophile donates an electron pair
