Assertion: Electophilic substitution reactions in haloarenes occur slowly and require more drastic conditions as compared to those in benzene.
Reason: Halogens are ortho and para-directors.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason Is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assetion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Halogen atom because of its -I effect has some tendency to withdraw electrons from the benzene ring, as a result, the ring gets somewhat deactivated as compared to benzene.
