Nucleophilicity vs Basicity Acids and bases are two important concepts in chemistry. They have contradictory properties. Nucleophile is a term, which is more prominently used in organic chemistry, to describe reaction mechanisms and rates. Structurally, there is not a distinguished difference between bases and nucleophiles, but functionally they perform different duties. What is Nucleophilicity? […]
The key difference between nucleophile and electrophile is that the nucleophile is a substance that seeks a positive centre whereas the electrophiles seek negative centres that have extra electrons. We can name the species arising due to a charge separation as “electrophiles” and “nucleophiles”. We will discuss what is exactly a nucleophile or an electrophile […]
