Benzene undergoes substituion reaction m...

Benzene undergoes substituion reaction more easily than addition because

A

It has cyclic

B

It has three double bonds

C

It has six hydrogen atoms

D

Of resonance

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
If there were no resonance in benzene, `pi` electons would have not been delocallsed and hence easily availble to undergo addition reactions as in ethylene. Further the subtituted benzene is stable due to resonance.
