Define: Carbocation
A carbon with a positive charge
What does a nucleophile do.
Grabs an atom
Steps of an electrophilic reaction
Alkene + electrophile –> carbocation + ion- —> product
How are electrons transferred in an electrophilic reaction
The double bond breaks and gets transferred to the electrophile.
What connects with the carbocation in an electrophilic reaction.
A negatively charged ion.
