The order of Positive Mesomeric effect
Explanation:
From the order of
Fluorobenzene > Chlorobenzene > Iodobenzene
Hence the reactivity towards electrophilic aromatic substitution follows the same order as given above :
Fluorobenzene > Chlorobenzene > Iodobenzene
The relative rates for nitration are given below :-
