A

`Ag^(+)`

B

`Hg^(2+)`

C

`Pt^(2+)`

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Metal ions that contain vacant orbitals of lower energy-the silver ion `(Ag^(+))`, the mercuric ion `(Hg^(2+))`, and the platinum ion `(Pt^(2+))`-act as electrophiles. Sodium ion ia not electrophilic as it lacks an empty orbital of lower enrgy.
