Nucleophilic aromatic substitution involves the formation of a resonance-stabilized carbanion intermediate called a Meisenheimer complex as the nucleophile attacks the ring carbon carrying the eventual leaving group. a. True
b. False

True

Explanation:

Aromatic rings undergo nucleophillic substitution reactions in the presence of a electron withdrawing group which stabilizes the Meisenheimer complex.

When the nucleophile attacks the ring carbon atom carrying the eventual leaving group. A resonance-stabilized carbanion intermediate called a Meisenheimer complex is formed.

Subsequent loss of the leaving group from the intermediate complex yields the product of the reaction.

electron microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopes gives us a greater understanding of atoms by being able to see the atom itself, and lets us see some atomic reactions.
