Whybenzene undergoes electrophilic substitution reaction whereas alkenes undergoes additonreaction

Answer»

Solution :(i) Benzenepossesan unlybridisedp-orbitalcontainingone ELECTRON. Thelateraloverlapof theirp-orbitalsproduces 3`pi`- bond.
(II) Due todelocalisation strongs `pi`- BONDIS formedwhichmakesthe moleculestable
