Why are haloarenes more stable than haloalkanes and undergo electrophilic substitution reaction at ortho and para-positions ? |
Answer» Solution :Haloarenes are resonance hybrid of FOLLOWING five structures:  Since there are five resonating structures in haloarenes, THEREFORE, they are more STABLE than HALOALKANES. Electrophilic substitution will take place at o- and p-positions because there is negative charge at o- and p-positions. |
