Benzene and other aromatic hydrocarbons,...

Benzene and other aromatic hydrocarbons, though contain `pi`-bonds, yet they behave as saturated hydrocarbons. They are stable because of delocalisation of cloud. These undergo electrophilic substitution reactions as :
`C_(6)H_(5)-H + YZ to C_(6)H_(5)Y +HZ`
The reactivity of aromatic hydrocarbons towards electrophilic substitution depends upon the electron density in the benzene ring
Nitration of benzene undergoes in the presence of

A

HCl

B

`H_(2)SO_(4)`

C

`NO_(2)^(+)`

D

HONO
