In a benzene ring substitution with - NH 2 group, orientation is controlled by

Question

In a benzene ring substitution with - NH 2 group, orientation is controlled by (A) release of electrons in the system by resonance (B) withdrawal of electrons through inductive effect of electronegative nitrogen (C) resonance effect which dominates inductive effect (D) inductive effect which dominates resonance effect.

- NH 2 group shows both -I and +M effect but resonance effect (+M) dominates inductive effect (-I)

Q. In a benzene ring substitution with $- N H_{2}$ group, orientation is controlled by

release of electrons in the system by resonance

withdrawal of electrons through inductive effect of electronegative nitrogen

resonance effect which dominates inductive effect

inductive effect which dominates resonance effect.

$- N H_{2}$ group shows both $- I$ and $+ M$ effect but resonance effect $(+ M)$ dominates inductive effect $(- I)$
