21) Why benzene undergoes electrophilic substitution reaction where asalkenesundergoes addition reaction?

Answer»

Benzene is a planar molecule having delocalized electrons above and below the plane of ring. Hence, it is electron-rich. As a result, it is highly attractive to electron deficient species i.e., electrophiles. ... Therefore, it undergoes electrophilic substitution reactions very easily.
