(i) Electrophilic substitution in aromaticamines takes place more readily then benzene.
(ii) Nitro compounds have higher boiling points than hydrcarbons having almost same molecular mass.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`-NH_(2)` is ERG, electrophilic substitution takes place faster.
(ii) Nitro compounds are more polar than hydrocarbons therefore have more van der Waal.s forces of attraction.
