Assertion (A) tert-butyl bromide undergoes Wurtz reaction to give 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane.
Reason (R) In Wurtz reaction, alkyl halides react with sodium in dry ether to give hydrocarbon containing double the number of carbon atoms present in the halide.
Assertion (A) Presence of a nitro group at ortho or para position increases the reactivity of haloarenes towards nucleophilic substitution.
Reason (R) Nitro group, being an electron withdrawing group decreases the electron density over the benzene ring.
Assertion (A) In monohaloarenes, further electrophilic substitution occurs at ortho and para positions.
Reason (R) Halogen atom is a ring deactivator.
Assertion (A) Aryl iodides can be prepared by reaction of arenes with iodine in the presence of an oxidising agent.
Reason (R) Oxidising agent oxidises $\mathrm{I}_2$ into HI.
Assertion (A) It is difficult to replace chlorine by -OH in chlorobenzene in comparsion to that in chloroethane.
Reason (R) chlorine carbon ( $\mathbf{C}-\mathbf{C l}$ ) bond in chlorobenzene has a partial double bond character due to resonance
