Answer» Option : (B) Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A. Chlorobenzene is less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction due to the delocalization of the electrons of C-Cl bond and a partial double bond character develop in the bond which make it difficult for nucleophile to cleave C-Cl bond. When Nitro group present at ortho and para position it withdraw electrons from benzene ring and helps to attack of Nucleophiles on haloarene. that's why. Nucleophilic Substitution increases. |
