Nucleophiles:
positive nucleus of atoms.
Ex:
Electrophiles
negative charges
Ex:
Mechanisms and arrow pushing: you will be doing all of these for the rest of the semester so try your hardest to understand this earlier rather than later. This chapter just describes the arrow pushing patterns that you must recognize, but the next few chapter apply them to actual reactions.
electrophile.
NOTE: electronegative atoms withdraw electron density from the carbon which gives the carbon a partial positive charge making it electrophilic
Ex.
groups
Ex.
second arrow shows the proton giving its electrons back to whatever it is connected to. Ex.
