Among the given compounds/ions overset+CH3 ,BF3,AlCl3, GaCl3, SbCl5, PCl5, PCl3 and CH3— Cl are electrophiles. In CH3— Cl, Cl— C bond is polar bond. Hence, carbon will have low energy anti-bonding orbitals.

Q. From the following compounds/ions, how many are electrophiles?
$C H_{3} +, N + H_{4}, B F_{3}, N H_{3}, N H_{2} - N H_{2}, PC l_{3}, PC l_{5}, S b C l_{5}, G a C l_{3}, A lC l_{3}, F^{-}, C + N, C H_{3} - Cl$ (“ $C$ ” atom of halide)

Among the given compounds/ions $C + H_{3}, B F_{3}, A lC l_{3}, G a C l_{3}, S b C l_{5}, PC l_{5}, PC l_{3}$ and $C H_{3} — Cl$ are electrophiles. In $C H_{3} — Cl, Cl — C$ bond is polar bond. Hence, carbon will have low energy anti-bonding orbitals.

Q. From the following compounds/ions, how many are electrophiles? CH3​+​,N+H4​,BF3​,NH3​,NH2​−NH2​,PCl3​,PCl5​,SbCl5​,GaCl3​,AlCl3​,F−,C+N,CH3​−Cl (“C” atom of halide)

Among the given compounds/ions C+H3​,BF3​,AlCl3​,GaCl3​,SbCl5​,PCl5​,PCl3​ and CH3​—Cl are electrophiles. In CH3​—Cl,Cl—C bond is polar bond. Hence, carbon will have low energy anti-bonding orbitals.
