JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 8.4. Organic chemistry reaction mechanism
In the above compounds correct order of reactivity in electrophilic substitution reactions will be

- A \(B >A> C > D\)
- B \(D > C > B > A\)
- C \(A > B > C > D\)
- D \(B > C > A > D\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(B >A> C > D\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(- Cl\) and \(-CH_3\) groups are \(o\) and \(p\) directing. They are electron releasing due to \(+ E\) and \(+ M\) effects. Further since such groups increase electron density in the nucleus, they facilitate further electrophilic substitution and hence known as activating…

- Given below are two statements :
Statement (I): Experimentally determined oxygen-oxygen bond lengths in the \(\mathrm{O}_3\) are found to be same and the bond length is greater than that of a \(\mathrm{O}=\mathrm{O}\) (double bond) but less than that of a single \((O-O)\) bond.
Statement (II) : The strong lone pair-lone pair repulsion between oxygen atoms is solely responsible for the fact that the bond length in ozone is smaller than that of a double bond \((\mathrm{O}=\mathrm{O})\) but more than that of a single bond \((\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{O})\).
