Interpretation:
The observation that the N,N,N-trimethylammonium group –N(CH3)3, though a meta directing deactivator does not exhibit electron withdrawing resonance effect is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
In planar molecules the overlapping of p orbitals on adjacent carbon atoms takes place leading to the formation of different resonance forms. Resonance is not possible if the molecule is not co-planar.
If the group already present on the benzene ring is electron withdrawing by resonance and/or inductive effect it will deactivate the ring towards electrophiles.
The stability of a resonance hybrid depends on the number of stable individual resonance forms that contribute to the hybrid. More the number, the more stable is the hybrid.
To explain:
The observation that the N,N,N-trimethylammonium group –N(CH3)3, though a meta directing deactivator does not exhibit electron withdrawing resonance effect.

What mole fraction of NaCl is needed to raise the boiling point of H2O by 3˚C? Does the amount of salt added to water (typically about one teaspoon to four quarts of water) substantially change the boiling point? (Kb (H2O) = 0.51˚C/molal.)arrow_forwardpls help asaparrow_forward
