Answer 1

Answer:

Nitration of chlorobenzene gives 35% ortho and 64% para products. (The remaining 1 % is the meta product.) Describe the chloro substituent as one of the following (EDG - electron donating group: EWG - election withdrawing group):i) EDG by resonance and EWG by induction: ii) EDG by induction: iii) EWG by induction and resonance: iv) EWG by resonance: v) none of the above Draw all the resonance structures of the intermediate leading to the para product.
