o- and p- directing groups have all of the following properties EXPECT:
Correct answer: C. They have all lone pair at the central atom of molecules except alkyl group
- A. They are electron-donating groups
- B. They increase reactivity of mono- substituted benzene ring
- C. They have all lone pair at the central atom of molecules except alkyl group
- D. Halogeno-substituted benzene is less reactive than benzene
Explanation
o- and p- directing groups are known for their ability to direct incoming substituents to the ortho and para positions on a benzene ring. However, halogeno-substituted benzene is an exception to this rule as halogens are electron-withdrawing and decrease reactivity, making it less reactive than benzene itself. This is why the statement that 'Halogeno-substituted benzene is more reactive than benzene' is the correct answer.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
