electrophile

the electrophile attacks the nucleophile during the reaction.

in organic chemistry, an electrophile is a species that accepts electrons.

electrophiles play a crucial role in many chemical reactions.

common electrophiles include carbocations and halogens.

the strength of an electrophile can influence the reaction rate.

understanding electrophiles helps chemists design better reactions.

the electrophile must be activated to react efficiently.

in a reaction, the electrophile usually has a positive charge.
