Statement 1 Bromobenzene, upon reaction with \(\mathrm{Br}_2 / \mathrm{Fe}\) gives 1, 4-dibromobenzene as the major product.
Statement 2 In bromobenzene, the inductive effect of the bromo group is more dominant than the mesomeric effect in directing the incoming electrophile.
- A Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- B Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- C Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
- D Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

Bromine orientation is controlled by its mesomeric effect, its stabilisation of arenium ion by \(+M\) activity

In bromobenzene, the inductive effect of the bromo group is more dominant than the mesomeric effect in the activity of ring.

- Paragraph:
If the measurement errors in all the independent quantities are known, then it is possible to determine the error in any dependent quantity. This is done by the use of series expansion and truncating the expansion at the first power of the error. For example, consider the relation . If the errors in , respectively, then
The series expansion for , to first power in . The relative errors in independent variables are always added. So the error in will be
