Benzene has pi-bonds and should in theory undergo addition reactions like alkenes. However, we know that benzene only takes part in substitution reactions. Figure 16 compares the energy diagrams for the possible addition reactions and substitution reactions of benzene. Mark the correct statements. *
 
 
 
 
Addition and substitution reactions of benzene proceeds through the same reactive intermediate.
 
 
 
 
The substitution reaction is faster than the addition reaction.
 
 
 
 
Addition and substitution reactions of benzene are exothermic.
 
 
 
 
Both addition and substitution reactions of benzene proceeds through two transition states.
 
 
 
 
The substitution product is more stable than the addition product due to the stability of the aromatic ring.
