AI Generated Solution

To classify the given species into electrophiles and nucleophiles, we need to understand the definitions of these terms: - **Electrophiles** are species that are electron-deficient and can accept electrons. They typically have a positive charge or an empty orbital. - **Nucleophiles** are species that are electron-rich and can donate electrons. They usually have a negative charge or a lone pair of electrons. Now, let's classify each species provided in the question: 1. **(a) H⁺**: This is a proton with a positive charge. It can accept electrons. ...
