Carbonyl carbon in $CH_3-CHO$,nitrile carbon in $CH_3-CN$,and carbon attached to $I$ in $CH_3-I$

Vedclass · Answer

(B) An electrophilic center is an atom that is electron-deficient and can accept an electron pair. In $CH_3-CH=O$,the carbonyl carbon is electrophilic due to the high electronegativity of oxygen. In $CH_3-C \equiv N$,the nitrile carbon is electrophilic due to the high electronegativity of nitrogen. In $CH_3-I$,the carbon atom attached to iodine is electrophilic because iodine is more electronegative than carbon,creating a partial positive charge on the carbon atom.
