Vedclass · Answer

(B) An electrophile is an electron-deficient species that can accept an electron pair. $NO_2^+$,$H^+$,and $BF_3$ are all electron-deficient and act as electrophiles. $Na^+$ is a stable cation with a complete octet configuration $(1s^2 2s^2 2p^6)$. It does not have a tendency to accept electron pairs in typical organic reactions,hence it is not considered an electrophile.
