To categorize the given molecules/ions as nucleophiles or electrophiles, we need to understand the definitions of both terms: - **Electrophiles** are species that are electron-deficient and can accept a pair of electrons. They are typically positively charged or have an incomplete octet. - **Nucleophiles** are species that are electron-rich and can donate a pair of electrons. They are usually negatively charged or have lone pairs of electrons. Now, let's analyze each of the given species one by one: 1. **HS⁻**: ...
