Answer 2

• It is an electrophilic substitution reaction.

• Usually benzene undergo electrophilic substitution.

• Electrophile is a group containing positive charge.

• One of the hydrogen of benzene gets displaced here.

• The hydrogen from benzene is removed as H+ ion.

• Benzene acquires a negative charge from where the hydrogen is removed.

• The reagent, methyl chloride breaks to form CH3+ ion and Cl- ion.

• The electrophile in the reagent is CH3+ ion.

• This electrophile reaches the negative charge on benzene and hence a bond is formed. Thus the product methyl benzene is produced.

• The hydronium ion and chloride ion forms HCl.
