CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)Br, CH\(_3\)COCH\(_3\), CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)CN, (CH\(_3\))\(_2\)Cd
The number of molecules with electrophilic centres in the following is
CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)Br, CH\(_3\)COCH\(_3\), CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)CN, (CH\(_3\))\(_2\)Cd
Show Hint
Electrophilic centers are essential in many organic reactions, particularly in substitution and addition reactions.

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Electrophilic centers are present where atoms or groups with partial positive charge are available for attack by nucleophiles.
- CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)Br has an electrophilic carbon (C-Br bond).
- CH\(_3\)COCH\(_3\) has an electrophilic carbon in the carbonyl group.
- CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)CN has an electrophilic carbon in the nitrile group.
Thus, three molecules have electrophilic centers.
