Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II

| LIST-I | LIST-II |
|---|---|
| A. Carbocation | I. Species that can supply a pair of electrons. |
| B. C-Free radical | II. Species that can receive a pair of electrons. |
| C. Nucleophile | III.  hybridized carbon with empty p-orbital. |
| D. Electrophile | IV.  hybridized carbon with one unpaired electron. |

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Step 1: Identify each species

(A) Carbocation: Carbon bearing a positive charge, only 3 bonds,  hybridised with an empty p-orbital. → III

(B) C-Free radical: Carbon with one unpaired electron; can be  or  hybridised. → IV

(C) Nucleophile: Electron-rich species that donates a pair of electrons. → I

(D) Electrophile: Electron-deficient species that accepts a pair of electrons. → II

Step 2: Final match

A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II → Option (d)

Key Points to Remember:
- Carbocation: , empty p-orbit
