The main reason is the unsaturation due to delocalised electrons. Therefore, it undergoes electrophilic substitution reactions very easily. Benzene readily undergoes addition reaction. ... The three double bonds in a benzene ring are conjugated and hence stabilize the benzene ring due to resonance.
An electrophilic addition reactionbegins with ... Alkenes undergo electrophilic addition reactions. ... bond electrons forming a bond with an electrophile. For unsymmetrical alkenes, theelectrophile adds to the sp2carbon that is bonded to the most hydrogens.
