Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To answer the question of why alkenes prefer electrophilic addition reactions while arenes prefer electrophilic substitution reactions, we can break down the explanation into several steps. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Alkenes and Arenes**: - Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons that contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond (C=C). An example is propene (CH3-CH=CH2). - Arenes are aromatic compounds, which are also unsaturated but have a stable ring structure with delocalized π electrons. A common example is benzene (C6H6). ...
