Chapter 17, Problem 17.68P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: An explanation corresponding to the given statement that triphenylene resembles to benzene in that it does not undergo addition reaction with
Concept introduction: The delocalization of bond, lone pair, or free electrons from one place to another is known as resonance. The stability of compound depends upon the number of resonating structures. More the resonating structures of compound more will its stability.
