Nucleophiles and electrophiles are reaction intermediates having electron-rich and electron-deficient centres’ respectively. Hence, they tend to attack electron-deficient and electron-rich centres respectively. Classify the following species as electrophiles and nucleophiles.

Nucleophiles I (vi), (vii), and (viii)

Electrophiles are (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v).
