Identify the reactive parts that will be involved in the reaction. The reactive center clouds to choose from are nucleophiles (Nu), electrophiles (E), and leaving groups (LG). Indicate where each reactive center cloud should be placed, preferably by a drawing.
The following seems to be incorrect:
E: An electrophile is an electron deficient species/aton center that get attracted to an electron-rich center (Nu) The partial positive-charge on an atom aloo makes it an electrophile. : an atom or group that detaches/leaves from the main part of a molecule carries away a lone pair, thus breaking the existing bond.
Expert Answer
Electrophile , nucleophile and leaving group are participating in E2 mechanism, In the first case nucleophile attacked more reactive electrophilic center carbon atom to form pi bond and leaving group eliminated.
