Assertion: In monohaloarenes, further electrophilic substitution occurs at ortho and para position
Reason: Halogen atom is a ring deactivator

A

Assertion and reason both are correct and reason is correct explanation of assertion

B

Assertion and reason both are wrong statements

C

Assertion is correct but reason is wrong statement

D

Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation of assertion

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Correct explanation in monohaloarenes, halogen atom increases the electron density at ortho and para position. So, further electrophilic substitution occurs at ortho and para positions
