1). How does a nitro group differ from a nitrite group ? 

2). How do you explain the polarity of nitro compounds ? 

Nitro compounds are polar due to the presence of the nitro functional group (-NO2), which consists of a nitrogen atom bonded to two oxygen atoms. The oxygen atoms are more electronegative than nitrogen, causing them to attract electron density towards themselves. This creates a partial positive charge on the nitrogen atom and partial negative charges on the oxygen atoms, resulting in a dipole moment and overall polarity of the molecule.

3). Nitro alkanes are slightly acidic, justify the statement.

4). Tertiary nitro alkanes do not react with nitrous acid. why ?

5). Electrophilic substitution is easier in benzene than in nitrobenzene. Why? 

6). Why is -NO2 group Meta directing towards electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions ?
