Question
Identify electrophilic centre in the following compounds $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{O}, \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CN}, \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{I}$.

Answer

$\text{CH}_3\underline{\text{C}}\text{H}=\text{O},\ \text{H}_3\text{C}\underline{\text{C}}\equiv\equiv\text{N},$ and $\text{H}_3\underline{\text{C}}-\text{I},$ the underlined carbon atoms are electrophilic centres as they will have partial positive charge due to polarity of the C-O or C-N or C-I bonds.
