Benzene shows
  • A
    Substitution
  • B
    Addition
  • C
    Oxidation
  • All of these

Answer

Correct option: D.
All of these
d
There are delocalised electrons above and below the plane of the ring. The presence of the delocalised electrons makes benzene particularly stable.

Benzene resists addition reactions because that would involve breaking the delocalisation and losing that stability.

An alkylbenzene is simply a benzene ring with an alkyl group attached to it. ... Alkyl groups are usually fairly resistant to oxidation. However, when they are attached to a benzene ring, they are easily oxidised by an alkaline solution of potassium manganate($VII$) (potassium permanganate).

Given below are two statements:

Statement $I$: The boiling point of hydrides of Group $16$ elements follow the order

$\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Te}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Se}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}$.

Statement $II$: On the basis of molecular mass, $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ is expected to have lower boiling point than the othe members of the group but due to the presence of extensive $\mathrm{H}$-bonding in $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$, it has higher boiling point.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
