The nitration of aniline in a strong acidic medium results in the formation of m-nitroaniline because:
1. | In spite of substituents, the nitro group always goes to only the m-position. |
2. | In electrophilic substitution reactions, the amino group is meta-directive. |
3. | In the absence of substituents, the nitro group always goes to only m-position. |
4. | In an acidic (strong) medium, aniline is present as an anilinium ion. |
The correct increasing order of basic strength of the given molecules is:
(I) | (II) | (III) |
1. III < I < II
2. III < II < I
3. II < I < III
4. II < III < I

The correct statement regarding the basicity of arylamines is:
1. | Arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because the lone-pair electrons of nitrogen are not delocalized by interaction with the aromatic ring π-electron system. |
2. | Arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because of the aryl group +I effect. |
3. | Arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen atom in arylamines is sp-hybridized. |
4. | Arylamines are generally less basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen lone-pair electrons are delocalized by interaction with the aromatic ring π-electron system. |
