Answer / hemant patel
a lewis base is a proton acceptor. these can be good
nucleophiles for a reaction if they are not too big and
bulky. if they are too big, they can't attack the
electrophile and you will probably get an E type rxn
instead of an SN type rxn. A nucleophile is any electron
rich molecule. This can be a lewis base or it can be
another species such as a carbanion

Answer / r.sanjeeverayan
Base is a substance whose pH is greater than 7.0 but a
nucleophile neednot to be a base i.e a nucleophile can be a
neutral molecule
eg CN(-) is a strong nucleophile but a neutral molecule.
