Concept explainers
a) Chlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene and benzene
Interpretation:
The compounds chlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene and benzene are to be ranked according to their reactivity towards electrophilic substitution.
Concept introduction:
To rank:
The compounds chlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene and benzene according to their reactivity towards electrophilic substitution.
b) p-bromonitrobenzene, nitrobenzene, phenol
Interpretation:
The compounds p-bromonitrobenzene, nitrobenzene and phenol are to be ranked according to their reactivity towards electrophilic substitution.
Concept introduction:
Aromatic compounds that contain an ortho and para directing substituent groups (except halogens) are more reactive than benzene and that contain meta directing substituent groups are less reactive than benzene. Halogens are ortho & para directing yet deactivating groups. Hence the halogen substituted benzenes are less reactive than benzene.
To rank:
The compounds p-bromonitrobenzene, nitrobenzene and phenol according to their reactivity towards electrophilic substitution.
c) Fluorobenzene, benzaldehyde, o-xylene
Interpretation:
The compounds fluorobenzene, benzaldehyde and o-xylene are to be ranked according to their reactivity towards electrophilic substitution.
Concept introduction:
Aromatic compounds that contain an ortho and para directing substituent groups (except halogens) are more reactive than benzene and that contain meta directing substituent groups are less reactive than benzene.

To rank:
The compounds fluorobenzene, benzaldehyde and o-xylene according to their reactivity towards electrophilic substitution.
d) Benzonitrile, p-methylbenzonitrile, p-methoxybenzonitrile
Interpretation:
The compounds benzonitrile, p-methylbenzonitrile and p-methoxybenzonitrile are to be ranked according to their reactivity towards electrophilic substitution.
