What effect does resonance have on the electron density in the benzene ring?
Options
- AIt decreases electron density
- BIt has no effect on electron density
- CIt increases electron density at meta-positions
- DIt increases electron density at ortho- and para- positions
Correct answer
D. It increases electron density at ortho- and para- positions
Step-by-step solution
Resonance increases electron density at ortho- and para- positions in the benzene ring.
