Solution
Benzene is very vulnerable to electrophilic substitution reactions compared to chemical reactions because it loses its aromaticity throughout addition reaction. As benzine contains delocalized electrons spanning over carbon atoms within the ring, it's extremely engaging to electrophiles and is additionally extremely stable to electrophilic substitutions. Generally, the electrophilic substitution reaction of benzine may be a three-step method involving:
Generation of the electrophile.
Intermediate carbocation formation.
Removal of a nucleon from carbocation intermediate.
