Step 1

First, let's identify the activating and deactivating groups in each substituted benzene. Activating groups are electron-donating groups (EDGs) that increase the electron density of the benzene ring, making it more reactive towards electrophilic aromatic Show more…

50. For each horizontal row of substituted benzenes, indicate the one that is the most reactive in an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, the one that is the least reactive in an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, and the one that yields the highest percentage of meta product in an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.
