Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The reaction-free energy profile of chlorobenzene is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Electrophilic substitution reactions are reactions in which electrophile, that are electron loving species get substutituted on a benzene ring. The benzene ring should have an electron donating group that makes the ring nucleophilic, that is electron rich for the electrophile to attack.
(b)
Interpretation:
The reaction-free energy profile of nitrobenzene is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Electrophilic substitution reactions are reactions in which electrophile, that are electron loving species get substutituted on a benzene ring. The benzene ring should have an electron donating group that makes the ring nucleophilic, that is electron rich for the electrophile to attack.
