Answer 2

Answer:

due to this Electrophilic substitution occurs at the "9" and "10" positions of the center ring, and oxidation of anthracene occurs readily, giving anthraquinone, C14H8O2 (below). Anthracene is an organic semiconductor. It is used as a scintillator for detectors of high energy photons, electrons and alpha particles.
