Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given parts with respect to tert- butylbenzene is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The rate of electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS) on benzene is the same at all carbon atoms as they are all equivalent.

The presence of a substituent on benzene ring modifies the rates at which EAS occurs at different ring carbons.

The rate of EAS depends on the position of the carbon relative to the substituent already present and the number of equivalent carbons of each type.
