Chemistry Question on Organic Chemistry- Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Which of the following species is not electrophilic in nature ?

A

BH3{ BH_3}

B

H3OH_3\overset {\oplus}O

C

NO2 \overset{\oplus}N O_2

D

Cl\overset{\oplus}C l

Answer

H3OH_3\overset {\oplus}O

Explanation

Solution

Electrophones are electron deficient species.
Among the given, H3O{H_3O^{\oplus}}has lone pair of electrons for donation, thus it is not electron deficient and hence, does not behave like an electrophone.
