What is an electrophile?

Answer:
Electrophile is a reagent acctracted to electrons that partecipates in a chemical reaction by accepting an electron pair in order to bond to a nucleophile.
Electrophiles are Lewis acid and often are positively charged
an electrophile (literally electron-lover) is a reagent attracted to electrons that participates in a chemical reaction by accepting an electron pair in order to bond to a nucleophile. Because electrophiles accepts electrons, they are Lewis acids. Most electrophiles are positively charged, have an atom which carries a partial positive charge, or have an atom which does not have an octet of electrons.

The electrophiles attack the most electron-populated part of a nucleophile. The electrophiles frequently seen in the organic syntheses are cations such as H+ and NO+, polarlized neutral molecules such as HCl, alkyl halides, acyl halides, and carbonyl compounds, polarlizable neutral molecules such as Cl2 and Br2, oxidizing agents such as organic peracids, chemical species that do not satisfy the octet rule such as carbenes and radicals, and some of lewis acids such as BH3 and DIBAL.
Electrophile is a atom, molecule, or group accepting electrons: an atom, molecule, or chemical group that is attracted to electrons or accepts them .
electro........

"phile" ....is love of .....in your case a ELECTRON

It wants a electron sooooooooooooo bad it can taste it

Its taking a electron from something else
