Assertion: C_(2)H_(5)OH is a weaker base than phenol but is a stronger nucleophile than phenol. (1) Reason: In phenol the lone pair of electrons on oxygen is withdrawn towards the ring due to resonance.

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

    Assertion: Salicyclic acid is much strogest than its m-p -isomers and benzoic acid itself. Reason: It is due to steric inhibitation to resonance, as -OH group forces -COOH out of the plane of ring.

    The lone pair of amines makes them basic. They react with acids to form acid-base salts. Amines are more basic than alcohols, ethers and water. When an amine is dissolved in water, an equilibrium is established , where water acts as an acid and transfer a proton to the amine. The basic strength of an amine can be measured by basicity constant K_(b) . Arylamines are less basic than alkylamines because the lone pair of nitrogen is delocalised with the aromatic ring and are less available for donation. Substituted arylamines can be either more basic or less basic than aniline , depending on the substituted . ERG substituents, such as -CH_(3), -NH_(2) and -OCH_(3) increases the basicity and EWG substituents , such as -Cl, -NO_(2) and -CN decreases basicity. While sp^(2)- hybridized nitrogen atom in pyridine is less basic then the sp^(3) -hybridized nitrogen in an alkylamine. The most basic carbanion is :

    The typical reaction of benzene and other aromatic compounds are electrophilic substitution. Presence of electron donating group activates the ring towards electrophilic substitution, while presence of electron withdrawing group deactivates the ring towards electrophilic substituion but at the same time activates the ring towards nucleophilic subsituion. Some groups are predominantly meta-directing and all of these are deactivating. Except halogen, most of the o- and p- directing groups are activating groups.
