Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The way in which $m-\text{bromoiodobenzene}$ can be prepared from benzene is to be written.

Concept introduction:

The substitution reaction involves the replacement of one functional group by another functional group. In nucleophilic substitution, an electron rich species attacks the species that is deficient in electrons.

The electrophile and the leaving group together form a substrate. The nucleophile attacks over the substrate, which results in the removal of leaving group from the substrate.
