  Nucleophilie is an substance which attacks Electron deficient entities other than Hydrogen. 

 

Base is an Substance Which attacks only Hydrogen and no one else.


 FOr eg, NaOH is an base, which attacks only acidic hydrogen, Even if a carbocation is available for it.


    Nucleophilicity is the measure of Attacking Electron deficient entities other than hydrogen.

Basicity is the measure of attacking acidic Hydrogens. 

 

Remember this.
