Is chlorine an electrophile?

Yes, one of the strongest.


Why chlorine makes benzene less reactive?

This is because chlorine is an electronegative group and is pulling electrons away from benzene. This makes the ring less reactive and more positive. Then when a positive electrophile tries to attach, the benzene does not want to react.


What purpose does FeCl3 serve in the electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction between chlorine and benzene?

FeCl3 being a Lewis acid accepts one chlorine with electron pair leaving the other as chloronium ion (an electrophile) which attacks on benzene ring.


Why hydrogen bromide is electrophile?

What are Electrophiles. I Know They Are Generally Positive Such As H Plus. Would Cl2 slash FeCl3 Be An Electrophile?

The positive species which may attack on carbon or a pi bonds are electrophile as Cl+, NO2+ etc. but H+ and Positive metallic ions are not electrophile .


What is the difference between hard and soft electrophile?

They differ in the ability of their valance electrons to be removed, ie their polarisable ability. Hard electrophile valance electrons are not easily delocalised (hardly polarisable). Soft electrophile valance electrons are easily delocalised (strongly polarisable).
