AI Generated Solution

To determine which species from the given list are electrophiles, we need to identify those that are electron-deficient and can accept electrons. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understanding Electrophiles Electrophiles are species that are electron-deficient and can accept an electron pair from a nucleophile during a chemical reaction. Common examples include cations and molecules with vacant orbitals. ### Step 2: Analyzing Each Species 1. **H⁺**: This is a proton and is electron-deficient. It can accept electrons. **(Electrophile)** 2. **Na⁺**: Although it has a positive charge, sodium has a complete octet and does not readily accept electrons. **(Not an electrophile)** ...
