It is a nucleophile on which an electrophile attack as: underset textNucleophileCH 2= CH 2+ underset textElectrophileH + longrightarrow CH 3- overset+ CH 2 All others are electrophile.

Q. Which of the following is not an electrophile?

$C l^{+}$

$C H_{2} = C H_{2}$

$F e^{3 +}$

$^{+} N O_{2}$

It is a nucleophile on which an electrophile attack as:
$Nucleophile C H_{2} = C H_{2} + Electrophile H^{+} ⟶ C H_{3} - C + H_{2}$
All others are electrophile.
