Electrophiles are reagents attracted to electrons.

Electrophiles tend to be electron-deficient and carry partial positive charges. They are attracted to species with lone pairs of electrons. For example, protons \text{H}^+ have no electrons and tend to share ones with other species, hence behaving as electrophiles in aqueous reactions. In the reaction between \text{H}^+ and ammonia \text{NH}_3, protons would be attracted to lone electron pairs on nitrogen atoms in ammonia molecules, which carry partial positive charges.

The Lewis Acid-base theory define Acids as species that accept electron pairs in a particular acid-base reaction. Electrophiles, by definition, tend to accept electrons. Lewis acids thus behaves as electrophiles in acid-base reactions. In the previous example, \text{H}^+ demonstrates acidic behavior and can be inferred as an electrophile.

While a certain isotope decays, it emits photons. What kind of decay is happening?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
The correct answer is Gamma decay. It happens after beta and alpha decay because what's left after those two can enter a new process of gamma decay. This releases gamma rays which is a more complex term for the photons that you mentioned before. These rays can be dangerous for humans so care not to get caught in them.
