To classify the given molecules and ions as nucleophiles or electrophiles, we need to understand the definitions of both terms: - **Nucleophiles** are species that are electron-rich and have a tendency to donate electrons. They often carry a negative charge or possess lone pairs of electrons. - **Electrophiles** are species that are electron-deficient and have a tendency to accept electrons. They typically carry a positive charge or are electron-poor. Now, let's classify each of the given species step by step: 1. **HS⁻ (Hydrosulfide Ion)**: ...
