NO-group acts exactly as halogens because of long pair on nitrogen. This pair stabilizes ortho-para intermediates.
Meta-directing groups do not direct the substituents to the ortho or para positions, so they are not suitable for this specific experiment focusing on ortho- and para-directing groups. Including a meta-directing group would not yield the desired outcome of products at the ortho and para positions.
Yes, the substituent SO3H is ortho para directing.
Ortho, para, and meta-directing groups are electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents in aromatic compounds. Activating groups increase the electron density on the ring, making it more reactive towards electrophilic substitution. Deactivating groups reduce the electron density on the ring, making it less reactive. The specific positions favored for substitution (ortho, para, or meta) depend on the nature of the substituent and its effects on the ring.
salicytic acid is a ortho para directing group ....however check up on that ...i am not completely certain .. Actually, it is a meta-directing group, because of the carboxylic acid functional that the salicylic acid contains. Hope that was helpful.
Halogens are ortho para directors because they direct incoming groups to the ortho and para positions on the benzene ring due to their electron-withdrawing nature. However, they are deactivating in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions because they withdraw electron density from the benzene ring, making it less reactive towards electrophiles.

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution is an example of Ortho and para directing group and meta directing group.

Because the +R effect of the haloarene, tends to oppose the -I effect, and hence the deactivation is lesser at the ortho and para positions, compared to any other position (like the meta position). So they tend to be o-p directing.
P-bromonitrobenzene predominates in the product mixture over O-bromonitrobenzene due to the directing effects of the nitro group on the aromatic ring. The nitro group is a strong deactivating and meta-directing substituent, which means that when bromination occurs, it favors substitution at the para position rather than the ortho position. This is because the para position is less sterically hindered compared to the ortho position, allowing for a more favorable reaction pathway. Consequently, the steric and electronic factors lead to a higher yield of p-bromonitrobenzene.
Halogens have lone pairs which they can donate into the aromatic pi system (easy to see with resonance structures), hence they are ortho/para directors. However, they deactivate the ring to electrophilic reaction because they are electronegative. Therefore fluorine is the most deactivating since it is the most electronegative.
The methyl group directing effect increases the reactivity of electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions by directing the incoming electrophile to the ortho and para positions on the benzene ring. This effect is due to the electron-donating nature of the methyl group, which stabilizes the positive charge on the intermediate carbocation. As a result, the regioselectivity of the reaction is influenced, favoring the formation of ortho and para substituted products.
In aromatic compound chlorine attached to the ring acts as the electrons donor group because the lone pair of chlorine becomes involved in process of resonance and is responsible to create the negative charge at ortho and para positions so acts as ortho-para director.
In phthalic acid, the two carboxylic acid (COOH) groups are positioned at the ortho positions relative to each other due to the structure of the phthalic acid molecule and the stability of its intermediates during electrophilic aromatic substitution. The presence of one COOH group can stabilize the formation of the ortho position via resonance, making it more favorable for further substitution. While COOH is generally a meta-directing group due to its electron-withdrawing nature, in the case of phthalic acid, the existing ortho position enhances the stability of the molecule, leading to a preference for ortho substitution.
