Assertion (A) : Toluene undergoes nitration much more readily than benzene.
Reason (R) : It is due to electron releasing nature of –CH3 group which increases electron density on benzene and electrophilic substitution reaction like nitration becomes faster.
Reason (R) : It is due to electron releasing nature of –CH3 group which increases electron density on benzene and electrophilic substitution reaction like nitration becomes faster.
