Question
Select the statements below that are TRUE. Benzene and its derivatives tend to undergo electrophilic aromatic addition reactions. Benzene and its derivatives tend to undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Substitution reactions have energies of activation that are very low. Dienes and alkenes are much more stable than benzene rings. Addition reactions with benzenes lead to the loss of aromaticity. Benzene and its derivatives undergo a type of substitution reaction in which a hydrogen atom is replaced by a substituent, but the stable aromatic benzene ring is regenerated at the end of the mechanism.Explanation / Answer
2 , 5 and 6 are TRUE
1 is false because benzenes are tend to undergo substitution reaction rather than addition ones
avtivation energy is very high during bond breakage in benzene
and benzene is more stable than alkenes and dienes
