In aldehydes and ketones there is the C=O group
the oxygen is more electronegative(it pulls electrons to itself)
so carbon gets a slight positive charge and o gets a negative charge.
nucleophiles have many electrons so they attack the carbon with less electrons.and this is what happens in the electrophilic attack

Aldehydes and ketones undergo a variety of reactions that lead to many different products. The most common reactions are nucleophilic addition reactions, which lead to the formation of alcohols, alkenes, diols, cyanohydrins (RCH(OH)CN), and imines R2CNR), to mention a few representative examples.
