Why are halogins orthopara directing in aromatic compounds?

Answer»

ANSWER:

Halogens are very ELECTRONEGATIVE. This means that inductively they are ELECTRON withdrawing. HOWEVER, because of their ability to donate a lone pair of electrons in resonance forms, they are activators and ortho/para directing. ... Electron withdrawing groups are meta directors and they are deactivators.
