NEET Chemistry Preparation Methods Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Aryl chlorides can be prepared by electrophilic substitution of arenes with chlorine in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst. | Reason (R): Fluoro compounds are not prepared by electrophilic substitution due to the high reactivity of fluorine.
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.
