Orthobial interaction in electrophilic aromatic substitution?

chillzoneBychillzone

Hello, which orbital interactions are involved in this mechanism? So, from where exactly to where does the attack occur? The attack comes from the benzene, but from which orbital? The Pz orbital, ie, the double bond? And where exactly does it go? To the nucleus of the electrophile?

Thank you, LG !!!!!

SE on aromatics.

Pi complex. The electrophile approaches the annular Pi cloud. All C are sp2

Sigma complex. AC is sp3. The electrophile is bound

Rearomatization by splitting off the sp3 -C atom. All C again sp2
