Why ,benzene undergoes substitution reaction more readily than addition reaction ? |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :`(i)` Benzene CONTAINS delocalized `pi`-electrons which make the ring to ACT as an electro RICH centre. So electrophilic substiution reaction occurs in benzene. `(ii)` Benzene ring is stabilized by delocalized `pi` electrons. Though it is highly stable, it undergoes ADDITION and oxidation reaction under specic conditions. |
