Question

The most common type of reaction in aromatic compounds is

• A. elimination reaction
• B. addition reaction
• C. electrophilic substitution reaction
• D. rearrangement reaction

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Due to presence of delocalised $\pi$-electrons in the aromatic compounds, the electron density is maximum inside the ring. Therefore, aromatic compounds undergo electrophilic substitution reaction and resistant to addition reactions
