Nucleophiles, Electrophiles, & Mechanisms

What is a nucleophile, and what is an electrophile? How do they interact with one another to cause reactions? How do we draw reaction arrows to show the electron flow from nucleophile to electrophile? You'll be able to answer all of these questions and more after going through this study guide.
