Preferred Label : electrophilicity;
IUPAC definition : the relative reactivity of an electrophilic reagent. (it is also sometimes referred
to as electrophilic power.) qualitatively, the concept is related to lewis acidity.
however, whereas lewis acidity is measured by relative equilibrium constants, electrophilicity
is measured by relative rate constants for reactions of different electrophilic reagents
towards a common substrate (usually involving attack at a carbon atom). nucleophilicity; the property of being electrophilic (see electrophile).;
