Why does benzene show electrophilic substitution easily |
|
Answer» BECAUSE IT HAVE DELOCALISED PI ELECTRONS 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. |
