Question
Assertion: In monohaloarenes, further electrophilic substitution occurs at ortho and para positions.
Reason: Halogen atom is a ring deactivator.
Options
Assertion and reason both are correct and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
Assertion and reason both are wrong statements.
Assertion is correct but reason is wrong statement.
Assertion is wrong but reason is correct statement.
Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation of assertion.
Solution
Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation of assertion.
