(a) nuclephile,
(b) electrophile,
( c) both, or
(d) neither.
`BF_(3)` , `I^(-)`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To classify the species \( BF_3 \) and \( I^- \) as nucleophiles, electrophiles, both, or neither, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definitions - **Nucleophiles**: These are species that donate electrons. They are typically negatively charged or neutral. - **Electrophiles**: These are species that accept electrons. They are usually positively charged or neutral but electron-deficient. ### Step 2: Analyze \( BF_3 \) - **Boron Trifluoride (\( BF_3 \))**: ...
