Toppr Admin · Accepted Answer

Halogens present on benzene ring have -I and -R effect deactivate the ring but -R effect increases the electron density on ortho and para positions- Hence - halogens are ortho and para directing-

Despite their -I-effect , halogens are o- and p-directing in haloarenes . Explain.

Halogens present on benzene ring have -I and +R effect deactivate the ring but +R effect increases the electron density on ortho and para positions. Hence , halogens are ortho and para directing.
