Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The increasing order of reactivity toward nitration with HNO3 of the compounds, thiophene, benzene, 3 methylthiophene and 2 methylfuran is to be stated with explanation.

Concept introduction:

Electrophilic substitution reactions are those reactions in which an electrophile replaces the atom or functional group of a compound.

Resonance is a phenomenon in which polarity is generated in a molecule by the interaction of the conjugated π- bonds or by interaction of the lone pair of electrons and π- bonds. In this phenomenon, the delocalization of the lone pair of electrons occurs. More the resonating structures of a compound, more stable is the compound.
