Q. The most common type of reaction in aromatic compounds is
A) Elimination reaction
B) Addition reaction
C) Electrophilic substitution reaction
D) Rearragement reaction
Explanation
(c)
Due to presence of delocalised $\pi$-electrons in the aromatic compounds, the electron density is maximum inside the ring. Therefore, aromatic compounds undergo electrophilic substitution reaction and resistance to addition reactions.
