Frequently Asked Question
Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.
Which of the compound is more active among Benzene, Toluene, Nitrobenzene and Why?
Accepted Answer
Both Toluene and Nitrobenzene are more reactive than Benzene. Toluene is more reactive due to the presence of a methyl group, which donates electrons to the ring, making it more reactive towards electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Nitrobenzene, on the other hand, is more reactive due to the presence of a nitro group, which withdraws electrons from the ring, making it more reactive towards nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions.
