Question

H ominus always act as (A) Nucleophile (B) Base (C) Electrophile (D) Ambiphile

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

H ominus can act as a nucleophile also but always acts as a base. H ominus is ideal to interact with the H atom's of σ * orbital H-X (X can be any atom) but much small to interact easily with carbon's more diffuse 2p orbital ((π )*) .

Q. $H^{⊖}$ always act as

Nucleophile

Base

Electrophile

Ambiphile

$H^{⊖}$ can act as a nucleophile also but always acts as a base. $H^{⊖}$ is ideal to interact with the H atom's of $σ^{}$ orbital $H - X$ (X can be any atom) but much small to interact easily with carbon's more diffuse 2p orbital $((π)^{})$ .
