Tell whether the following compounds are ortho-, meta-, or para-disubstituted.
Understand the Problem
The question asks us to determine the substitution pattern of various compounds, identifying them as ortho-, meta-, or para-disubstituted based on the positions of the substituents on the benzene ring.
Answer
(a) para, (b) para, (c) meta.
The final answer is: (a) para, (b) para, (c) meta.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is: (a) para, (b) para, (c) meta.
More Information
In a benzene ring, substituents located at the 1,2 positions are 'ortho', 1,3 positions are 'meta', and 1,4 positions are 'para'.
Tips
Ensure you correctly identify the positions on the benzene ring; common mistakes involve miscounting the positions.
