Step 1: Identifying Nucleophiles
Nucleophiles are species that have a lone pair of electrons or a  bond that can be donated to an electrophile.
- : Lone pair on Nitrogen.
- : Lone pair on Sulfur.
- : Lone pair on Sulfur.
- : Accessible  electrons.
- : Negative charge and lone pairs.

Step 2: Evaluating Other Species
- : Electrophile (positive charge, no lone pair to donate).
-  and : Electrophilic at the C-atom.
Total count = 5.
