Question

why benzene is more reactive than its saturated homologue​

Answer 1

Answer:

please mark my answer as brainliest

Explanation:

The saturated homologue of benzene is cyclohexane. Benzene is more reactive than cyclohexane due to presence of double bonds.It undergoes addition reactions and some substitution reactions under specific conditions like resonance, difference in hybridisation, etc., also, since the pi electrons are more reactive and there are no pi electrons in an alkane, alkanes are less reactive than alkenes or benzene

PS:

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons

Alkenes and alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons
