Assertion (A) Nitration of chlorobenzene...

Assertion (A) Nitration of chlorobenzene leads to the formation of m-nitrochlorobenzene.
Reason (R) `-NO_(2)` group is a m-directing group.

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 is wrong but reason is correct statement.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Assertion is wrong but reason is correct statement.
Correct Assertion Chlorination of nitrobenzene leads to the formation of m-nitrochiorobenzene because `-NO_(2)` group deactivates the ring because it is meta directing.
