Question

The total number of electrophiles present in the following set is/are SnCl 4, ZnCl 2, NO 2+, H 3 O +, NH 4+, NF 3, H 2 S, CH 2= CH - C ≡ CH (A)  (B)  (C)  (D)

Charged electrophile: NO 2+ Neutral electrophiles: SnCl 4, ZnCl 2, NF 3. H 3 O +, NH 4+cannot act as electrophiles since they already have an octet of electrons in their respective valence shells. Hence, they cannot accept a pair of electrons. Nucleophiles: H 2 S , CH 2= CH - C ≡ CH.
