Nucleophiles and electrophiles are reaction intermediates having electron rich and electron deficient centres respectively . Hence, they tend to attack electron deficient and electron rich centres respectively. Classify the following species as electrophiles and uncheophiles. (i) `H_(3)CO^(-)` (ii) `H_(3)C-overset(O)overset(||)C-O^(-)` (iii)Cl (iv)`Cl_(2)C:` (v) `(H_(3)C)_(3)C^(+)` (vi) `Br^(-)` (vii) `H_(3)COH` (viii) R-NH-R
