Electrophile that participates in nitration of benzene is

Options

  1. A( N O⁺ )
  2. B( NO ₂⁺ )
  3. C( NO )
  4. D( NO ₃ )

Correct answer

B. ( NO ₂⁺ )

Step-by-step solution

The steps involved in the nitration of benzene are as follows: In this step, nitric acid accepts a proton to form the stronger acid, sulphuric acid. Now, protonated nitric acid can dissociate to form anitronium ion. Nitronium ion This nitronium ion generated will react with benzene to form nitrobenzene.
