Definitions:

Deactivator

A chemical compound or group that decreases the reactivity of an atom or a formation within a molecule, often used in reference to aromatic substitution reactions.

O,p-director

A term describing substituents on an aromatic ring that direct incoming substituents to the ortho and para positions in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions.

Strongest Activating Group

A substituent that increases the reactivity of an aromatic ring toward electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions the most.

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution

A reaction where an electrophile replaces a hydrogen atom in an aromatic ring, a common mechanism in aromatic chemistry.
