Label the nucleophilic and electrophilic sites in these compounds.
00:04
Nuclearophiles, i'm going to label in green, electrophiles in blue.
00:08
So a nucleophile must use a lone pair of electrons or a pie bond to attack something else.
00:16
So if we're looking at our first compound, the only loan pairs or pie bonds we have are on the bromine.
00:21
Therefore, technically, bromine could act as a nucleophile.
00:25
There's also a dipole present in this compound between carbon and bromine, meaning there's a pretty big delta plus on this carbon.
00:32
Therefore, it is electrophilic.
00:35
It may be attacked by something else, by a nucleophile.
00:38
In water, we know that water can act as an acid or as a base.
00:45
Same idea as acting as a nucleophile or as an electrophile.
00:49
If it acts as an electrophile, well, it could take our hydrogen...
