Indicate the following statement as true/false. Groups that donate electrons to the ring are formed in a shorter time under mild conditions, increasing the electron density of the ring.   Some of the groups pre-bonded to an aromatic ring cause electrophilic aromatic substitution to occur mainly at the ortho and para sites. Others lead to the meta location. Groups that donate electrons to the ring are formed in a shorter time under mild conditions, increasing the electron density of the ring.
