The nitration of benzene is :A. `S_(N^(1))` reactionB. `S_(N^(2))` reactionC. `S_(E^(1))` reactionD. `S_(E^(2))` reaction

Answer» Correct Answer - D
The first or slow step involves the attack by an electrophile `(NO_(2)^(+))` with the formation of a transitory intermediate carbonium or arenium ion. In the second or fast step, hydrogen breaks as hydrogen breaks as hydrogen proten to complete the substitution.
