Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Groups like, �Cl and �NO 2
shows �I effect.
�I groups attached to the benzene ring decrease
the electron density in the benzene ring and hence less reactive towards
electrophilic attack.
On the other hand, �OH not only shows �I effect
but also +M effect which predominates the �I
character and electron density is increased in the
benzene ring which facilitates electrophilic attack.
