(a)
Interpretation:
Considering the arenium ion intermediates that are formed in the nitration of fluorobenzene. Using Table 23-1, which one is formed the fastest, which is formed the slowest, which is the most stable and which is the least stable is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Substituents attached by an atom having at least one lone pair of electrons are ortho/para directors. Substituents attached by an atom having no lone pairs of electrons are:
