Answer:

The nitro group is one of the most common explosophores (functional group that makes a compound explosive) used globally. The nitro group is also strongly electron-withdrawing. Because of this property, C−H bonds alpha (adjacent) to the nitro group can be acidic.

No2 acts as a meta-directing group in nitrobenzene.

Detailed answer

In No2 the nitrogen is attached or present, with the benzene, does not contain an extra lone pair that is why it becomes meta-directing.

  • A nitro group is a group that strongly deactivates the benzene, ring towards electrophilic substitution reaction.
  • This causes the deficiency of electrons in the orbit.
  • The Electrophilic reaction is going to take place at the meta position rather than the para position.
  • It is also called or stated as the electron-withdrawing group.
