Question

Select all statements that correctly describe the reactions of benzene. A. Benzene typically undergoes reactions in which the aromatic ring is preserved.B. Benzene typically reacts with electrophiles where an aromatic proton is substituted by the electrophile.C. Benzene and alkenes both undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution reactionsD. Benzene typically undergoes addition reactions with electrophiles.

Answer 1

Answer:Benzene typically undergoes reactions in which the aromatic ring is preserved.B. Benzene typically reacts with electrophiles where an aromatic proton is substituted by the electrophile

Explanation:

The reactions of benzene are such that the aromatic ring is not destroyed. Addition reactions destroy the aromatic ring hence they aren't typical reactions of benzene. Benzene rings are attacked by electrophiles in which reaction a proton is substituted by the electrophile. Alkenes only undergo addition reaction and not electrophilic substitution reaction.
