Why do alkenes undergo electrophilic addition reactions while benzene undergoes electrophilic?

Alkenes undergo electrophilic addition reactions. ... bond electrons forming a bond with an electrophile. For unsymmetrical alkenes, theelectrophile adds to the sp2 carbon that is bonded to the most hydrogens. This results in formation of the most stable transition state and/or the most stable intermediate.

HEY DEAR_______❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
HERE IS YOUR ANSWER:-
Alkenes are more reactive than alkanes and cycloalkanes because they have a double bond. In an addition reaction, the double bond of the alkene partially breaks when the reactant molecule attacks and adds on across it.
Benzene is a planar molecule having delocalized electrons above and below the plane of ring. Hence, it is electron-rich. As a result, it is highly attractive to electron deficient species i.e., electrophiles. Therefore, it undergoes electrophilic substitution reactions very easily.
