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 a neutral or positively charged species and can form a bond 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

(CH3)4N+ is neither an electrophile nor a nucleophile because of it:

1.  Does not have an electron pair for donation and it also cannot attract an electron pair.
2. Neither has an electron pair available for donation nor can accommodate electrons since all shells of N are fully occupied.
3. Can act as Lewis acid and base.
4. None of the above.
