प्रश्न
Why do alkenes prefer to undergo electrophilic addition reaction while arenes prefer electrophilic substitution reactions? Explain.
उत्तर
If arenes would undergo electrophilic addition reaction then they would lose their aromaticity which would lead to comparatively less stability. However, alkenes undergo electrophilic addition reaction via carbocation intermediate.
