Solution

Let's analyze each statement:

Statement I: Electrophile is a negatively charged species commonly. This statement is incorrect. An electrophile is a species that is attracted to electrons and is often positively charged or neutral, not negatively charged.

Statement II: BF3 is an electrophile. This statement is correct. BF3, or boron trifluoride, is an electrophile because it can accept a pair of electrons due to the empty p-orbital of boron.

So, the correct answer is "Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct".
