Expert Answer
- Chlorine withdraws electrons through inductive effect and releases electrons through resonance.
- Through inductive effect, chlorine destabilises the intermediate carbocation formed during the electrophilic substitution.
- Through resonance, halogen tends to stabilise the carbocation and the effect is more pronounced at ortho- and para- positions.
- The inductive effect is stronger than resonance and causes net electron withdrawal and thus causes net deactivation.
- The resonance effect tends to oppose the inductive effect for the attack at ortho- and para positions and hence makes the deactivation less for ortho- and para attack.
- Reactivity is thus controlled by the stronger inductive effect and orientation is controlled by resonance effect.
