Both the acetamido (-NHCOCH3) and bromo (-Br) substituents are ortho, para directors. Even though the acetamido group is much la

rger than the bromo group, the -Cl is still introduced next to the acetamido group in spite of the greater steric hinderance at this site. Why?

Answer:

Explanation has been given below

Explanation:

  • Attachment of -Cl group at ortho position to acetamido group can be explained in terms of hydrogen bonding formation.
  • A hydrogen bonding can be formed between proton attached with N atom in acetamido group and Cl atom at ortho position. This leads to a formation of a stable 5-membered ring structure.
  • Hence ortho substitution by Cl is favorable process.
  • There is no hydrogen bonding possible between Br and Cl atom in ortho position. Therefore Cl prefers para position to avoid steric hindrance.
  • Structure of hydrogen bonded structure has been shown below.

How do ionic bonds affect the properties of ionic compounds?
seraphim [82]
<span>C) The bonds prevent ions from moving throughout the crystal, so a solid ionic compound is a poor conductor is your answer, however, technically speaking the bonds prevent electrons from moving, since the ions are locked in place and don't want their electrons to go.</span>
