Question
### Reaction Instructions for Drawing Structural Formulas

**Objective:**  
Draw structural formulas for the major organic product(s) of the reaction shown below.

#### Reaction Details:

- **Starting Material:** Nitrobenzene (C₆H₄NO₂)
- **Reagents:** Chlorine (Cl₂), Ferric chloride (FeCl₃) catalyst

#### Guidelines:

- **Stereochemistry:** You do not have to consider stereochemistry for this reaction.
- **Non-reactive Scenario:** If no reaction occurs, simply redraw the starting material (nitrobenzene).
- **Formal Charges:** Ensure all formal charges are correctly included on the atoms of any nitro groups present.
- **Drawing Tips:**
  - Draw one structure per sketcher.
  - Use the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner to add additional sketchers if needed.
  - To depict multiple products, separate them using the '+' sign found in the drop-down menu.

#### Diagram Editor:

- **Interface Overview:**
  - The diagram editor includes various tools for drawing and modifying chemical structures.
  - Utilize the provided templates for ring structures or functional groups as necessary.
  - Access bond and atom types from the toolbar for precise drawing.

This exercise is meant to enhance understanding of electrophilic aromatic substitution in benzene derivatives, specifically focusing on chlorination in the presence of a catalyst.
