MCQ
Nitration and chlorination of benzene are:
  • A
    Nucleophilic and electrophilic substitution respectively.
  • B
    Electrophilic and nucleophilic substitution respectively.
  • C
    Electrophilic substitution in both the reactions.
  • D
    Nucleophilic substitution in both the reactions.

Answer

  1. Electrophilic substitution in both the reactions.

Explanation:

Since nitration and halogenation, both are carried out by the help of electrophile NO2​+ & Cl+.

Hence, both reactions are electrophilic substitution reactions.
