Assertion: Presence of a nitro group at ortho or para position increases the reactivity of haloarenes towards nucleophilic substitution. Reason: Nitro group, being an electron withdrawing group decreases the electron density over the benzene ring.

Nucleophilic substitution reaction in Haloarenes

Give reasons: (a) n-Butyl bromide has higher boiling point than t-butyl bromide. (b) Racemic mixture is optically inactive. (c) The presence of nitro group ( -NO_(2) ) at o & p positions increases the reactivity of haloarenes towards nucleophilic substitution reactions.
