Q. Benzene easily shows

 2420  212 Hydrocarbons Report Error

Solution:

Electrophilic substitution reactions due to stable ring and high electron density. 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.
