Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Rates of nitration for benzene and hexadeuterobenzene are the same because the rate-determining step in electrophilic aromatic substitution is the formation of the -complex, not the breaking of the or bond. Furthermore, a bond is actually stronger than a bond due to lower zero-point energy. Both assertion and reason are false.
