Ring Activating groups (Substitute in the 2,4 and 6 positions): -alkyl, -OH, -NH3
Ring De-activating groups (substitute at the 3 and 5 positions): -COOH, -NO2, -carbonyl, -Cl2

I think it'd be better if we call the Ring Activating group ' Electron donating group' and the Ring Deactivating one ' Electron Withdrawing group'.

Thanks for the points. :)

in this number-6 part (C) cant we mention phenol and that it will give coloured solution with phenyl amine because it will form coupling?? isnt it?
please help:(

nooooo. Adding bromine water is the most common and repeated test for phenyls in the past papers. So the test should be the same for phenyl amines too.
I dont think coupling is a test for anything. we just need to know it for reactions etc.

I'm afraid, the mark scheme has mentioned the same test here too.

L not being a phenol doesn't give any observation whereas M being a phenol decolourises bromine water and gives white ppt.

ian not saying that br2 is wrong what iam asking is that is diazotizationn coupling correct or not?
