<h3>Answer:</h3>
There is One electrophilic center in acetyl chloride.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Electrophile is defined as any specie which is electron deficient and is in need of electrons to complete its electron density or octet. The main two types of electrophiles are those species which either contain positive charge (i.e. NO₂⁺, Cl⁺, Br⁺ e.t.c) or partial positive charge like that contained by the sp² hybridized carbon of acetyl chloride shown below in attached picture.
In acetyl chloride the partial positive charge on sp² hybridized carbon is generated due to its direct bonding to highly electronegative elements *with partial negative charge) like oxygen and chlorine, which tend to pull the electron density from carbon atom making it electron deficient and a good electrophile for incoming nucleophile as a center of attack.
Answer:
D.) H-O
Explanation:
Polarity is determined based on the difference in electronegativity of the atoms. The greater the difference, the more polar the bond. The general trend is that the atoms in the top-right corner of the periodic table are the most electronegative.
A.) is incorrect because H-H has no electronegativity difference, making it nonpolar.
B.) and C.) are incorrect because their electronegativity differences are not the greatest.
D.) is correct because the electronegativity difference between the H and O is the greatest.
