Nitration and chlorination of benzene areA. nucleophilic and electrophilic substitution respectivelyB. electrophilic and nucleophilic substitution respectivelyC. electrophilic substitution in both the reactionD. nucleophilic substitution in both the reaction. |

Answer» Correct Answer - C Nitration is carried out by the help of electrophile `NO_(2)^(+)`. `HNO_(3)+2H_(2)SO_(4) to NO_(2)^(+)+2HSO_(4)^(-)+H_(3)O^(+)` Halogenation is carried out by the help of electrophile `Cl^(+)(X^(+))` `Cl_(2)+FeCl_(3) to Cl^(+) +FeCl_(4)^(-)` Hence, both reactions are electrophilic substitution reactions. |
