Question:

Total number of nucleophiles from the following is: \(\text{NH}_3, PhSH, (H_3C_2S)_2, H_2C = CH_2, OH−, H_3O+, (CH_3)_2CO, NCH_3\)

Show Hint

A nucleophile is typically an electron-rich species capable of donating electrons. Common examples include amines, thiols, and hydroxide ions.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Nucleophiles are species that donate an electron pair to form a bond with an electrophile.
The nucleophiles in the list are:
- NH₃
- PhSH
- (H₃C₂S)₂
- H₂C = CH₂
- OH−
- NCH₃
Thus, there are 6 nucleophiles.
