(2) `CH_3-CN`
(3) `CH_3 I`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To identify the electrophilic centers in the given compounds, we need to understand what an electrophile is. Electrophiles are species that are electron-deficient and are attracted to electron-rich centers. Let's analyze each compound step by step: ### Step 1: Analyze `CH3CHO` (Acetaldehyde) 1. **Structure**: The compound has a carbonyl group (C=O) with a methyl group (CH3) attached to the carbonyl carbon. 2. **Electronegativity**: Oxygen is more electronegative than carbon, which means it pulls electron density towards itself. 3. **Partial Charges**: This results in the oxygen gaining a partial negative charge (δ-) and the carbonyl carbon gaining a partial positive charge (δ+). 4. **Electrophilic Center**: The carbonyl carbon (C=O) is the electrophilic center because it is electron-deficient. ...
