NEET Chemistry Substitution Reactions MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about substitution reactions in hydrocarbons is correct?
Substitution reactions in benzene can lead to the replacement of multiple hydrogen atoms when excess electrophile is used.
Benzene only undergoes addition reactions, which are more favorable than substitution reactions.
Electrophilic substitution reactions do not involve the formation of intermediates.
Substitution reactions in alkanes primarily occur via anionic mechanisms.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In substitution reactions, particularly with benzene, if an excess of electrophile is present, multiple hydrogen atoms can be replaced, leading to products like hexachlorobenzene. This is supported by the context discussing electrophilic substitution reactions.
