Question

Which of the following species is not electrophilic in nature? (A)  overset⊕ mathopCl (B) BH3 (C) H3 overset⊕ mathopO (D)  overset⊕ mathopN O2

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Electron deficient species are known as electrophiles. Among the given, H3O⊕ has lone pair of electrons for donation, so it is not electron deficient and hence, not an electrophile.

Q. Which of the following species is not electrophilic in nature?

$Cl \oplus$

$BH X_{3}$

$H X_{3} O \oplus$

$N \oplus O X_{2}$

Electron deficient species are known as electrophiles.
Among the given, $H_{3} O^{\oplus}$ has lone pair of electrons for donation, so it is not electron deficient and hence, not an electrophile.
