A) presence of OH group in phenol increases the electron density at ortho and para-position
B) presence of OH gorup in phenol decreases the electron density at ortho and para-position
C) nitration being electrophilic substitution requires less density at ortho and para-position
D) phenol is more reactive than benzene due to-R effect.
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Phenol is more easily nitrated than benzene as the presence of OH group in phenol increases the electron density at ortho and para positions in benzene ring by +R effect.
