The formation of the oxide ion, from oxygen atom requires first an exothermic and then an endothermic step as shown in below:


Thus process of formation of in gas phase is unfavourable though is isoelectronic with neon. It is due to the fact that,

Although chlorine is an electron withdrawing group, yet it is ortho- and para-directing in electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction because
(A) Chlorine withdraws electrons through inductive effect.
(B)Chlorine destabilises the intermediate carbocation formed during electrophilic substitution.
(C) Chlorine accepts electrons through resonance.
(D) Chlorine releases electrons through resonance.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

In Etard reaction, the final product is

Aniline does not undergo Friedel-Crafts reaction because
(A) It forms salt with the Lewis acid catalyst, AlCl_3.
(B) Nitrogen of aniline acquires negative charge.
(C) Nitrogen of aniline acquires positive charge.
(D) Nitrogen acts as a strong deactivating group in the further reaction.
