How would an ammonia group affect the benzene ring for subsequent reactions?
Correct answer: A. Deactivate the ring; meta directing
- A. Deactivate the ring; meta directing
- B. Activate the ring; ortho-para directing
- C. Deactivate the ring; ortho-para directing
- D. Activate the ring; meta directing
Explanation
decreasesAmmonia is a meta-directing group. It is also a deactivating group. Deactivating groups decrease the rate of electrophilic aromatic substitution.

About Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are named and related to their carbon-halogen structure, polarity and reactivity. The key reactions are nucleophilic substitution by SN1 and SN2 mechanisms and elimination by E1 and E2 mechanisms, including how substrate structure, nucleophile, base, solvent and temperature influence substitution versus elimination.
