Classification of solvents on the basis of proton


(i) Protophilic: Solvents which have a greater tendency to accept proton e.g., H 2O, alcohol, liquor
ammonia etc.
(ii) Protogenic: Solvents which have a greater tendency to donate proton, e.g., H 2O, HCl(l), glacial
acetic acid etc.
(iii) Amphiprotic: Solvents which can both accept and donate a proton, e.g., H 2O, liquor ammonia,
alcohol etc.
(iv) Aprotic: Solvents which can neither accept nor can donate a proton, e.g., benzene, CS 2, CCl4, etc.

Example: Chlorobenzene + Cl2 → o-Dichlorobenzene + p-Dichlorobenzene

NB:- -X group are deactivate the ring due to strong –I effect > +R but are ortho-para director.
Meta-directing group(-R or -M effect) :
They deactivate benzene ring towards electrophilic substitution reaction.
