Question

Consider the reactivity of phenol, bromobenzene, toluene, and nitrobenzene toward electrophilic aromatic substitution.

1.) The most reactive compound is (pick one: phenol, bromobenzene, toluene, and nitrobenzene) because the (pick one: electron donating or electron withdrawing) character of the (pick one: alcohol group, methyl group, bromine atom, or nitro group) increases the rate of the reaction.

2.) The least reactive compound is (pick one: phenol, bromobenzene, toluene, and nitrobenzene) because the (pick one: electron donating or electron withdrawing) character of the (pick one: alcohol group, methyl group, bromine atom, or nitro group) decreases the rate of the reaction.
