Nucleophiles

Nucleophiles are electron rich species that seek out a positive charge to balance themselves out

These can come under many different forms

Anions

Halide Ions	Hydroxide	Alkoxide	Hydride	Carbanions

Neutral Molecules With LPE

Water	Alcohols	Ammonia and Amines

Species With \(\pi\) Bonds

The \(\pi\) bond is comparatively weak (compared to its \(\sigma\) bond counterpart) and a secondary \(\pi\) bond will be even weaker. As a result, it behaves as a nucleophile.

Alkenes	Alkynes	Benzene
