Question

explain chlorine in chlorobenzene is ring deactivator but o-p directing​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cl shows a negative inductive effect due to its high electronegativity means it withdraws the electron density from the benzene ring, so it is a deactivating group. So, Cl is ortho/para directing and shows + M effect due to non-bonding electrons and it is deactivating due to high electronegativity
