Substituents on an aromatic ring can have several effects on electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Substituents can activate or deactivate the ring to substitution, donate or withdraw electrons inductively, donate or withdraw electrons through resonance, and direct substitution either to the ortho/para or to the meta positions. From the lists of substituents, select the substituents that correspond to each indicated property. The substituents are written as -XY, where X is the atom directly bound to the aromatic ring. These substituents activate the ring towards substitution. These substituents withdraw electrons through resonance.

Question
Substituents on an aromatic ring can have several effects on electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Substituents can
activate or deactivate the ring to substitution, donate or withdraw electrons inductively, donate or withdraw electrons
through resonance, and direct substitution either to the ortho/para or to the meta positions. From the lists of substituents,
select the substituents that correspond to each indicated property. The substituents are written as -XY, where X is the
atom directly bound to the aromatic ring.
These substituents activate the ring towards substitution.
These substituents withdraw electrons
through resonance.
O -OCOCH;
O -OH
-CI
O -COOH
O -NH,
O -CH,
O -so,H
O -CN
These substituents give ortho/para-directed substitution.
I -F
O -NHCOCH,
O -COOH
O -NO,
