Question
  1. Which of the following statements about substituent effect in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions (E.A.S.) is false?

     
    1. Electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) passivates the benzene ring for ortho and para substitution

       
    2. Carbonyl group which are bonded directly to the ring are called electron withdrawing groups (EWGs)

       
    3. In nitration of benzaldehyde, major products are ortho and para-nitro benzaldehyde

       
    4. Regioselectivity in multiple subtitution is determined by the substituent which has a higher activation effect

       
    5. F, Cl, Br, and I are orto-para directing groups, but have passivating effect
