How Do Substituents Affect Reactivity?

                If the substituent is an

           Electron Donating Group

          It makes the ring more electron rich
                     The ring will be more reactive
                         towards the electrophile
                      The reaction will take place faster.

                    How Do Substituents Affect Reactivity?

                If the substituent is an

         Electron withdrawing Group

              It makes the ring electron poor
                     The ring will be less reactive
                         towards the electrophile
                             The ring reacts with the
                                electrophile slowly
