Detailed Solution

Nitrobenzene on nitration i.e., by using fuming nitric acid, HNO3 forms trinitrobenzene in solid form. The nitro group in nitrobenzene is an electron withdrawing group so when reacted with HNO3, two more nitro groups get attached to the ortho and para position of the benzene ring as because -NO2 group is an ortho-para directing group hence, form 1, 3, 5-trinitrobenzene in short known as TNB.
