Is the NO molecule a good electrophile? is it a good nucleophile? or neither? Briefly explain answer.
Before answer the question we need to understand what is electrophile and what is nucleophile.
Electrophiles mean the species which likes electrons and these species has shortage of electrons.. They have attraction for electrons and accept electrons whenever possible.
Nucleophiles are the species which are already electron rich and the central atom has filled octet. They like to donate electrons.
Now in nitric oxide (NO), the N atom is electron deficient. It has total seven electrons in it's valence shell. Therefore octet is not filled up. So it will have a tendency to accept electron to fill it's octet. Again oxygen atom is highly electronegative which attracts bond pair electrons towards it and make N atom more electron deficient and partially charged. Therefore it will have attraction for electrons and hence works as electrophile.
