Question

iv) Why do aromatic hydrocarbons undergo electrophilic substitution reaction?


​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Aromatic hydrocarbons have pi electrons but does not undergo addition reaction because resonance of compound get altered. We know that aromatic compound is stable due to resonance. So, the aromatic hc prefers substitution reaction and due to its nucleophile nature, it attracts electrophile. So, the aromatic hc undergo electrophile substitution reaction.
