Assertion : The reaction of conc. `HNO_3` and conc.`H_2SO_4` on nitrobenzene gives m-dinitrobenzene.
Reason : The nitro group in benzene ring decreases the electron density in the benzene ring.

A

Statement 1 is True, statement 2 is True, Statement 2 is Correct explanation for Statement 1.

B

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True, Statement 2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement 1.

C

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False.

D

Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The nitro group in nitrobenzene mainly decreases the electron density at o-and p-positions and hence is m-directing.
