1.	Which of the following reactant can react with benzene ?
Answer» `I_(2)` and sunlight (NORMAL temperature) With COLD `KMnO_(4)` With bromine water With bromine `+ FeBr_(3)` Solution :(A) Benzene does not REACT with benzene. (B) Cold `KMnO_(4)` reaction is UNSATURATION bayer test. (C) Bromine water or `Br_(2)(Cl_(4))` is also unsaturation test. Benzene has characteristic stability so it does not GIVE unsaturation test (B) and (C). (D) Benzene react with `Br_(2)` in presence of Lewis acid `FeBr_(3)` and form `Br^(+)` which can form bromobenzene from benzene.
