Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electrophiles are molecules or atoms that are electron-deficient and seek electrons. Protons (A), protonated imines (C), carbonyl groups (D), and phosphoryl groups (E) are all electron-deficient species and can act as electrophiles. However, sulfhydryl (B) is a nucleophilic functional group, meaning it has a lone pair of electrons that it can donate to other atoms or molecules.
