Electrophile definition
I'm reading the OCR A chemistry text book, one of the questions is: Define an Electrophile.
I believe that an Electrophile is a species that accepts a pair of electrons.
However, the answers in the back for this question is, I quote, "An electron pair donor". Am I wrong or..?

You're right mate, a nucleophile is an electron pair donor, that's probably a typo in the book.

Thanks bud! This book is riddled with errors
Electrophile is 'electron pair acceptor'. The book has an error. Most textbooks are full of errors!
