Detailed Solution

A strongly electronegative atom is less inclined to donate electrons in response to a nucleophile than it is to accept them. All other factors being equal, a less electronegative atom is more nucleophilic. Solvent Solvents come in protic or aprotic varieties.

A chemical species known as a nucleophile joins forces with electrophiles by giving an electron pair. The term "nucleophile" refers to any molecule or ion containing a free pair of electrons or at least one pi bond. Nucleophiles are Lewis bases because they give electrons.

A nucleophile is not a Lewis acid.

An electrophile receives the high electron density of a nucleophile in exchange.

Lewis bases provide electron density while Lewis acid, on the other hand, has a low electron density.

The statement given in option C is false.
