QUESTION #4373
Question 1
Which one of the following is NOT a characteristic of benzene?
Correct Answer Explanation
Benzene ($C_6H_6$) is characterized by aromaticity, stability (due to delocalized $\pi$ electrons), and follows Hückel's rule ($4n+2\ \pi$ electrons, $n=1$). Benzene has LOW reactivity (not high) — it prefers substitution over addition to preserve aromaticity.
