Answer:

Structure of meta xylene has been shown below.

Explanation:

  • Xylene is dimethyl substituted benzene.
  • Among three possible isomers of xylene, only meta substituted xylene gives mononitration product at two different position.
  • Mononitration is possible in meta-xylene due to synergistic effect of two o/p-orienting methyl groups.
  • Synergistic effect refers that o/p-directing power of two methyl groups act together at a particular position.
  • Structure of xylene as well as their two possible mononitro derivatives has been shown below.
