NEET Chemistry Substitution Reactions Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Aryl halides undergo substitution reactions less readily than benzene.
Reason (R): Halogens in aryl halides are deactivating due to their strong inductive effect, reducing electron density on the benzene ring.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In aryl halides, halogens are deactivating due to their strong inductive effect, which reduces the overall electron density on the benzene ring, making substitution reactions less favorable.
