$SO_3$

Vedclass · Answer

(B) An electrophile is an electron-deficient species that seeks electrons to complete its octet or to form a bond.$SO_3$ (sulfur trioxide) acts as an electrophile because the sulfur atom is bonded to three highly electronegative oxygen atoms,making it electron-deficient (it has a partial positive charge).$RNH_2$ and $ROH$ contain lone pairs on nitrogen and oxygen respectively,making them nucleophiles.$NO_3^-$ is an anion and acts as a nucleophile.Therefore,$SO_3$ is the correct electrophile.

Column-$A$	Column-$B$
$(1)$ Free radical	$(A)$ Lewis base
$(2)$ Electrophile	$(B)$ Electrically neutral
$(3)$ Nucleophile	$(C)$ Octet complete
	$(D)$ Lewis acid
	$(E)$ Odd number of electrons
	$(F)$ Incomplete octet
