Question

Why does para nitro chloro benzene undergo nucleophilic substitution faster than chlorobenzene?

Answer 1

Answer:

heya .

here is ur answer

p-nitrochlorobenzene undergoes nucleophillic substitution faster than chlorobenzene explain giving the resonating structures as well

i hope its help u

Answer 2

Answer:

Hi there,

In Chlorobenzene, the Negative Charge is delocalized inside the ring whereas, in the p-Nitrochlorobenzene, the presence of Strong Electron withdrawing Group like Nitro more delocalizes the charge because it comes on the Electronegative O atom. We know that more is that the delocalization, more is that the resonance, the Stable is that the intermediate Product formed and therefore more is that the rate of reaction.

Hope it helped.
