Question

Mark the incorrect statement from the following. (A) Benzene has a planar structure (B) Benzene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon and shows addition reactions like alkenes (C) In benzene carbon uses two p-orbitals for hybridisation (D) Aromatic hydrocarbons contain high percentage of carbon hence burn with sooty flame

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Benzene does not show addition reactions like alkenes due to delocalisation of π-electrons.

Q. Mark the incorrect statement from the following.

Benzene has a planar structure

Benzene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon and shows addition reactions like alkenes

In benzene carbon uses two $p$ -orbitals for hybridisation

Aromatic hydrocarbons contain high percentage of carbon hence burn with sooty flame

Benzene does not show addition reactions like alkenes due to delocalisation of $π$ -electrons.
