Answers

Explanation:
In benzaldehyde, the carbonyl group is an electron withdrawing group so the carbonyl group pulls the electron from the electron-rich benzene ring. ... So Fehling's solution (comparatively a weaker oxidizing agent than Tollen's reagent) can't oxidize benzaldehyde (an aromatic aldehyde).
