Chapter 13, Problem 13.18P

13-18 Answer true or false.

  1. Benzene does not undergo the addition reactions that are characteristic of alkenes.

  • A defining feature of aromatic compounds is that they are highly unsaturated but do not undergo characteristic alkene addition reactions.

  • Nitration of benzene adds a —NO2 group to one of the carbons of the aromatic ring.

  • Halogenation of an alkene is an addition reaction; halogenation of an arene is a substitution reaction.
