The correct statement regarding electrophile is
(1) Electrophile is a negatively charged species and can form a bond by accepting a pair of electrons from another electrophile
(2) Electrophiles are generally neutral species and can form a bond by accepting a pair of electrons from a nucleophile
(3) Electrophile can be either neutral or positively charged species and can form a bond by accepting a pair of electrons from a nucleophile
(4) Electrophile is a negatively charged species and can form a bond by accepting a pair of electrons from a nucleophile

Answer (3)
Solution:

Electrophiles are either positively charged or neutral (electron-deficient) species.

These are electron-deficient or electron-loving entities that can establish a bond with a nucleophile by accepting a pair of electrons.
