Question

Which of the following act as electrophile in halogenation?


​

Answer 1

Answer:

Halonium ion act as electrophile in halogenation. Nitronium ion is used in nitration. Sulphonium ion is used in sulphonation. Acylium ion is used in acylation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

$\mathrm{Cl}^{+}$ act as electrophile in halogenation

In halogenation, the halonium ion acts as an electrophile. In nitration, the ion nitronium is employed. In sulphonation, the ion sulphonium is employed. In acylation, the acylium ion is employed. In halogenation, $\mathrm{Cl}^{+}$acts as an electrophile. As an electrophile, $\mathrm{Cl}^{+}$ attacks benzene, forming chlorobenzene and $\mathrm{H}^{+}$.

The correct answer is $\mathrm{Cl}^{+}$ which will act as electrophile in halogenation .
