12. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
Amines are alkyl or aryl derivatives of ammonia formed by replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms.
Alkyl derivatives are called aliphatic amines and aryl derivatives are known as aromatic amines. The
presence of aromatic amines can be identified by performing dye test. Aniline is the simplest example of
aromatic amine. It undergoes electrophilic substitution reactions in which —NH2 group strongly activates
the aromatic ring through delocalisation of lone pair of electrons of N-atom. Aniline undergoes electrophilic
substitution reactions. Ortho and para positions to the –NH2 group become centres of high electrons density.
Thus, –NH2 group is ortho and para-directing and powerful activating group.
