JEE Main 2025 — 8 April, Evening Shift — Question 6

Match the List-I with List-II

List-I	List-II
A. Carbocation	I. Species that can supply a pair of electrons
B. C-Free radical	II. Species that can receive a pair of electrons
C. Nucleophile	III. sp ${ }^{2}$ hybridized carbon with empty p-orbital
D. Electrophile	IV. sp2/sp ${ }^{3}$ hybridised carbon with one unpaired electron

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Option A:
$\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{III}), \mathrm{B}(\mathrm{IV}), \mathrm{C}(\mathrm{II}), \mathrm{D}(\mathrm{I})$
Option B:
$A(I I), B(I I I), C(I), D(I V)$
Option C:
$A(I V), B(I I), C(I I I), D(I)$
Option D:
$\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{III}), \mathrm{B}(\mathrm{IV}), \mathrm{C}(\mathrm{I}), \mathrm{D}(\mathrm{II})$
Correct

Nucleophile $\Rightarrow \mathrm{e}^{-}$ rich species like anions etc.

$\Rightarrow$ can supply a pair of electrons

Electrophile $\Rightarrow \mathrm{e}^{-}$ deficient species $\Rightarrow$ can receive a pair of electrons.
