Electrophile Nucleophile

Step by step solution

01

Nucleophile

As nucleophile seeks nucleus, hereis negatively charged and electron-rich, so it seeks nucleus. Therefore, it acts as a nucleophile.

02

Electrophile

In this reaction, the carbonyl carbon is poor in electrons due to more electronegative oxygen which is adjacent to it. Thus, cyclohexanone acts as an electrophile which is as shown:
