Assertion (A): Chlorine is an ortho-para directing group in electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.
Reason (R): Chlorine is an electron withdrawing group.
Reason (R): Chlorine is an electron withdrawing group.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Both A and R are correct; R is not the correct explanation of A
Option B is correct because chlorine is an ortho-para directing group due to resonance (+R effect), and it's also an electron-withdrawing group due to its electronegativity (-I effect), but the electron-withdrawing nature doesn't explain its directing effect.
