Question: The compounds benzyl chloride (C6H5CH2Cl), (dichloromethyl) benzene (C6H5CHCl2), and (trichloroethylene benzene (C6H5CCl3) all undergo nitration more slowly than benzene, the proportion of m-nitro-substituted product is

The compounds benzyl chloride (C6H5CH2Cl), (dichloromethyl) benzene (C6H5CHCl2), and (trichloroethylene benzene (C6H5CCl3) all undergo nitration more slowly than benzene, the proportion of m-nitro-substituted product is 4% in one, 34% in another, and 64% in another. Classify the substituents ─CH2Cl, ─CHCl2, and ─CCl3 according to each one’s effect on rate and regioselectivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution
