Consider the following statements.
Statement I Aromatic carboxylic acids undergo electrophilic substitution reaction at o/p-position due to the presence of electron withdrawing group.
Statement II Electron density is increased at o-and p-positions due to delocalization of 
-electrons.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
Aromatic carboxylic acids undergo electrophilic substitution reaction at 
-position due to presence of electron withdrawing group.
Due to delocalization of 
-electrons, electron density is decreased at 
-and 
-positions.
