Which of the following statements about substituent effect in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions (E.A.S.) is false? Electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) passivates the benzene ring for ortho and para substitution Carbonyl group which are bonded directly to the ring are called electron withdrawing groups (EWGs) In nitration of benzaldehyde, major products are ortho and para-nitro benzaldehyde Regioselectivity in multiple subtitution is determined by the substituent which has a higher activation effect F, Cl, Br, and I are orto-para directing groups, but have passivating effect

Second-row elements are more nucleophilic than first-row elements of comparable basicity. 3. Nucleophilicity is the affinity of a nucleophile to an electrophilic carbon. 4. The rate of SN2 reaction may be markedly affected by the nucleophilicity of the attacking atom
Furan undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution more readily than benzene; mild reagents and conditions are sufficient.For example, furan reacts with bromine to give 2-bromofuran. Explain why furan undergoes bromination (and other electrophilic aromatic substitutions) primarily at the 2-position.
