Compounds A, B, and C are isomers of xylene (dimethylbenzene). When each of these isomers undergoes a single nitration, compound A produces just one product, B produces a mixture of two products, and C produces a mixture ofthree products. Identify which of compounds A, B, and C is the ortho isomer, which is the meta isomer, and which is the para isomer.
