Explanation / Answer

well nitration of chlorobenzene occurs slower and gives m-chloronitro benzene reason : u must be familiar with the concept of back bonding the double bond in benzene is rotation and the lone pair of electrons in cl are in a back bonding with the hydrogens which has empty orbitols so c6h5cl is more stable so nitration of this occurs slower than benzene and it forms m because when it forms m then the double bond with n is in a state of resonance with cl lone pair of electrons so m - is more stable than p plz rate me first
