Why does benzene undergo electrophilic substitution reactions easily and nucleophilic substitutions with difficulty?

Answers 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Benzene is a planar molecule having delocalized electrons above and below the plane of ring. Hence, it is electron-rich. As a result, it is highly attractive to electron deficient species i.e., electrophiles. ... Hence, benzene undergoes nucleophilic substitutions with difficulty
