What is the difference between ortho-para directing activator and ortho-para directing deactivator when it comes to product formation? I understand that an activator donates an electron to the ring and a deactivator withdraws electron.

Please provide an example

Predict whether the following substituents on the benzene ring are likely to be ortho, para- directing or meta-directing and whether they are likely to be ring-activating or ring- deactivating.

a. --N(CH3)2

B . --CH2CH3

O

ll

C. --CCH3 (carbonyl group)

As we know that halogens are ring deactivater agents then how they are Ortho para directing???
