HELLO FRIEND
This is because of the availability of the electrons on Chlorine ,In the Chlorobenzene, Cl acts as ortho and para directing that means it will send the incoming electrofile (E+) on the ortho and para positions of benzene. The o and p position carry high elecrtron charge density due to resonance
