Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
In aniline -$NH_2$ group is attached with benzene ring. - $NH_2$ group shows $+M$-effect. So, it activates the benzene ring. Hence, rate of
electrophilic substitution is increased due to increase in the electron density at o/p-position. In case of nitrobenzene, ($- NO_2$) -M-effect group deactivates the benzene ring, so in nitrobenzene rate of electrophilic substitution is lower than benzene. Hence, order of $SE$ reaction is

Properties of Benzene
Physical Properties:
- Benzene is a colorless liquid with a distinct odor.
- It's highly flammable and volatile.
- It is soluble in organic solvents while insoluble in water.
- Its boiling point is 80.5°C.
- It shows resonance.
Chemical Properties:
- Nitration: Nitration involves the reaction when benzene is reacted with nitric acid in the presence of sulphuric acid. The temperature then remains at 55°C and it results in the formation of nitrobenzene.
- Sulphonation: Benzene reacts with fuming sulphuric acid and results in the formation of benzene sulfonic acid in sulphonation reactions.
- Halogenation: Benzene reacts with halogen in the presence of the Lewis acid resulting in the formation of aryl halide. This reaction is known as halogenation.
- Friedel Crafts Acylation reaction: During the reaction of the benzene with an acyl halide, in presence of Lewis acid, it results in the formation of acyl benzene. This is called Friedel craft’s acylation reaction.
- Friedel Crafts Alkylation reaction: During the reaction of the benzene with an alkyl halide, in presence of Lewis acid like anhydrous Aluminium Chloride, alkyl benzene is formed. This is called Friedel craft’s alkylation reaction.
