The decreasing order of reactivity towards electrophilic substitutions is:
- A \(I > II > III > IV\)
- B \(I > III > IV > II\)
- C \(IV > I > II > III\)
- D \(III > I > II > IV\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(III > I > II > IV\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Reactivity towards electrophilic aromatic substitution depends on the electron density of the benzene ring. Electron-donating groups (EDG) increase the electron density and activate the ring, while electron-withdrawing groups (EWG) decrease the electron density and deactivate…
