The neutral or positively charged species with deficiency of electrons and capable of accepting a pair of electrons (Lewis acid) are called electrophiles, e.g., B F3 and M e3 C ⊕.

Q. Pick out the electrophiles from following species $B F_{3}, N H_{3}, M e_{3} C^{\oplus}, H Cl$

$B F_{3}$ and $N H_{3}$

$M e_{3} C^{\oplus}$ and $H Cl$

$B F_{3}$ and $M e_{3} C^{\oplus}$

$N H_{3}$ and $H Cl$
