Reagents that seek to react with a proton or some other electron-deficient center are called?
Nucleophiles
Why is the electron BF3 deficient?
The central atom B has less than 8 electrons in the valence shell. BF3 has a tendency to accept electron pair.
What happens when an atom that has lost an electron comes in contact with an atom that gained an electron?
They form an ionic compound.
What is the main disadvantage of the electron microscope over a compound microscope?
You can only view non-living things under the electron microscope, while with the compound you can view living organisms
What compound is formed when the electron combines with the last acceptor?
atp
What is the meaning of electrophilic?
electrophilic addition reaction
What is the second row nonmetals that forms electron deficient compounds?
boron
What is the difference between nucleophiles and electrophiles?
electrophiles are the electron deficient species whereas nucleophiles are the electron rich specie .the other difference is that electrophiles are the electron loving species and nucleophile are electron hating.

Why boron forms electron deficient compound?
boron has very small atomic radius.the hypothetical B3+ ion has very small size and hence high charge densities.This value is so high that B3+ ion does not exist.All thecompounds of boron are therefor covalent.Boron has 4 valencce electro n and this gives it a great electron accepting power that is its compound behave as strong lewis acid
Why is hydrogen bonding only possible with hydrogen?
hydrogen's nucleus is electron deficient when it bonds with an electronegative atoms
What do you mean when you say an atom is electron deficient?
It has incomplete octet (incomplete valence shell) after bond formation.
Scientists described a base as a compound that donates an electron pair?
The Lewis Theory describes a base as a compound that donates an electron pair. By donating the electron pair there is a covalent bond.
Is AlCl3 a solid?
In solid it exists an electron deficient species , but in vapour phase it dimerises to complete octet
