What is difference between Base and Nucleophile?..

Answer / ram najar kushwaha

*There are much more similarities between base and
nucleophile.Base attacks at more acidic protons while
nucleophile attaks at electron deficient carbon.
e.g. LDA--- Base
OH- Nucleophile as well as a base.

Nucleophile may also act as a base.

What is difference between Base and Nucleophile?..

Answer / ram najar kushwaha

Bases attack at more acidic protons while Nucleophiles
attack at electron deficient atoms.

Generally, stronger base acts as weaker nucleophile and
weaker base acts as strong nucleophile.
e.g.
LDA is strong base as well as weak nucleophile.

What is difference between Base and Nucleophile?..

Answer / msaqibtheumerkhel

Base is a specie that donates an electron pair or extracts a proton from other molecule. A neucleophile is a specie that attack on positive or electron deficient site. Both base and neucleophile have excess of electrons. They may be negatively charged, neutral or partial negative portion of a polar molecule. The main difference between them is that a base extract H from other molecule and neucleophile attaches to the molecule itself. It should be moved that a strong neucleophile is a weak base and vice versa e.g. Chloride is a strong neucleophile due to its small size and electronegative nature but it is a weak base because it does not give electron pair easily (outermost electrons are tightly bound due to small size). Similarly, Iodide is a strong base but weak neucleophile due to large size.

What is difference between Base and Nucleophile?..

Answer / manoharan r

In bases the deriving force is only electron donation but
in nucleophiles a new bond should be formed.For example
hindered bases are week nucleophiles.

There are much more similarities between base and
nucleophile.Base attacks at more acidic protons while
nucleophile attaks at electron deficient carbon.
e.g. LDA--- Base
OH- Nucleophile as well as a base.

Nucleophile may also act as a base but at some conditions.
Bases attack at more acidic protons while Nucleophiles
attack at electron deficient atoms.

Generally, stronger base acts as weaker nucleophile and
weaker base acts as strong nucleophile.
eg
aq. KOH acts as base
and alco. KOH act as nucleophile

What is difference between Base and Nucleophile?..

Answer / easha

base attacks on proton and nucleophiles attack on electroic
carbon. but i don't understand how many bases and
nucleophiles are different from each other?
