Question

Which of the following species is not electrophilic in nature? (A) C⊕l (B) BH3 (C) H3O⊕ (D) N⊕O2

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Electron deficient species are known as electrophiles. Among the given, H 3 overset⊕O 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?

$C^{\oplus} l$

$B H_{3}$

$H_{3} O^{\oplus}$

$N^{\oplus} O_{2}$

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.
