Q. Benzene does not undergo addition reactions easily because

Jharkhand CECEJharkhand CECE 2013

Solution:

In benzene, the Ti-electrons are delocalised and makes the structure more stable. Delocalization of $ \pi $ electrons is called resonance. Thus, benzene does not give addition reactions because of resonance stabilisation.
