7. Electrophiles and Nucleophiles

8. Figure 6.1
Some nucleophiles and electrophiles. Electrostatic potential maps identify the nucleophilic (red; negative) and electrophilic (blue; positive) atoms.

10. A sample polar reaction

11. Figure 6.2
A comparison of carbon–carbon single and double bonds. A double bond is both more accessible to approaching reactants than a single bond and more electron-rich (more nucleophilic). An electrostatic potential map of ethylene indicates that the double bond is the region of highest negative charge (red).
