Hello,

Q.1. Why Benzene ring is said to be Activated when -OH Group is attached (Phenol) and Deactivated when -Cl Group is attached (Chloro Benzene), even when both the groups are having lone pair ?

Q.2. Why anti-markovnikov''s rule is applicable only with Bromine and not with other Halogens ?

Question
