1. Benzene is more reactive than Chlorbenzene. True or False? 2. Nitro group is meta orienting. True or False?
Solution
Benzene is more reactive than Chlorbenzene.
The statement is true (For electrophilic aromatic substitution)
Because benzene is electron rich than chloro benzene. Hence it easily undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution easily.
. Nitro group is meta orienting.
The statement is True .
Nitrobenzene is electron defeicient ring and NO2 group is withdrawing group. It is meta director because of electron withdrawing ablity.
