NEET Chemistry Substitution Reactions MCQ Question
What effect do halogens have on the benzene ring in terms of substitution reactions?
Halogens are moderately deactivating groups.
Halogens are strongly activating groups.
Halogens increase the rate of substitution significantly.
Halogens have no effect on the benzene ring.
