In chemistry, an electrophile (literally electron-lover) is a reagent attracted to electrons that participates in a chemical reaction by accepting an electron pair in order to bond to a nucleophile. Because electrophiles accepts electrons, they are Lewis acids (see acid-base reaction theories). Most electrophiles are positively charged.
In chemistry, a nucleophile (literally nucleus lover) is a reagent which is attracted to centres of positive charge. A nucleophile participates in a chemical reaction by donating electrons to a species known as an electrophile in order to form a chemical bond. Because nucleophiles donate electrons, they are by definition Lewis bases (see acid-base reaction theories). ...
In Organic chemistry, a radical substitution reaction is a substitution reaction involving free radicals as a reactive intermediate.

A free radical reaction occurs when there is a homolytic cleavage of a bond, resulting in two molecules, each with an atom containing an unpaired electron.
Nucleophilic and electrophilic additions and substitutions occur through lone pairs and bonded electrons. These polar reactions are the combination of a nucleophile and an electrophile; in other words, these reactions are both nucleophilic and electrophilic.

1. -phile= loving
2.electrophilic= electron loving substances (having +ve charge)
3.nucleophilic= nucleus loving susbstances (having - ve charge)
4. when electron is lost then the reaction is nucleophilic
5 when proton(nucleus) is lost then the reaction is electrophilic

Education is good, because it teaches you how to learn, how to discipline your mind. Knowledge for a Christian is knowing the word, knowing your God, His nature, His will, His outlook on things. Wisdom is looking at things from God's perspective and putting them into action. Knowledge is great, but too much of it can puff you up if you don't counteract it with fruit of the Spirit. Ever know a person who's very knowledgeable, but has no temperance and no love? Their knowledge is almost useless in the long run. But wisdom? You find that and your soul shall live, because when you find wisdom, you find the way God Himself looks at a situation. Proverbs 3: By wisdom the Lord laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the watery depths were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.
