    The electrophile in the nitration of benzene is

    A) \[NO_{2}^{+}\]                                

    B)  \[N{{O}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[N{{O}^{+}}\]                                 

    D)  \[NO_{2}^{-}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     In the nitration of benzene nitronium ion (i.e., \[NO_{2}^{+}\]) acts as a electrophile. \[\underset{conc.}{\mathop{HN{{O}_{3}}}}\,+\underset{conc.}{\mathop{{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}NO_{2}^{+}+{{H}_{2}}\text{O }+\text{ }HSO_{4}^{-}\]
