In general, electrophiles are positively charged species that are attracted to an electron rich centre. In chemistry, an electrophile (literally electron-friend) is a reagent attracted to electrons that participates in a chemical reaction by accepting an electron pair in order to bond to a nucleophile. Because electrophiles accept electrons, they ...
