Electrophilic substitution reaction in naphthalene is quite similar to benzene reaction. The alpha position is more stabilized than the beta position. The carbo cation formed at an alpha position after the attack of an electrophile is much more stabilized by its resonance than the second position.

Answer 2

Answer:

Naphthalene is an organic compound with formula C

10H8.

It is the simplest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, and is a white crystalline solid with a characteristic odor that is detectable at concentrations as low as 0.08 ppm by mass.

As an aromatic hydrocarbon, naphthalene's structure consists of a fused pair of benzene rings.

It is best known as the main ingredient of traditional mothballs.
