Which of the following statements is incorrect?
Options
- AChlorobenzene is more reactive than benzene towards electrophilic substitution reactions.
- BC – C l bond in chlorobenzene is less polar than in C H 3 C l .
- CChlorobenzene is less reactive than C H 3 C l towards nucleophilic substitution reactions.
- DIn chlorobenzene further electrophilic substitution takes place at ortho and para position.
Correct answer
A. Chlorobenzene is more reactive than benzene towards electrophilic substitution reactions.
Step-by-step solution
Chlorobenzene is less reactive than benzene towards electrophilic substitution reaction due to strong - I effect of - C l .
