I’ve seen the pKa values of Nitrophenol as follows:- pKa of o-nitrophenol= 7.23 pKa of p-nitrohenol= 7.14 so p-nitrophenol is more acidic than p-nitrophenol But both phenoxide ions are stabilized …

My teacher suggests the proton will be added to C4 (numbered according to IUPAC) since it has maximum electron density. And as the δ+ charge will be on C3, $\ce{Br-}$ will attack there. Why the …
