A nitrogen atom is linked to two extremely electronegative oxygen atoms in the Nitro group. This causes a net reduction in electron density around the nitrogen atom, giving nitrogen a positive charge.
Why does the presence of a nitro group make the benzene ring less reactive in comparison to the unsubstituted benzene ring? Explain.
