Question

Which of the following species is not electrophilic in nature ? (A)  BH3 (B) H3 overset ⊕O  (C)  overset⊕N O2 (D)  overset⊕C l

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Electrophones are electron deficient species. Among the given, H3O⊕has lone pair of electrons for donation, thus it is not electron deficient and hence, does not behave like an electrophone.

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

$B H_{3}$

$H_{3} O \oplus$

$N \oplus O_{2}$

$C \oplus l$

Electrophones are electron deficient species.
Among the given, $H_{3} O^{\oplus}$ has lone pair of electrons for donation, thus it is not electron deficient and hence, does not behave like an electrophone.
