Will benzene decolourise bromine water or not and why?

Open in App

Solution

Benzene molecule is unsaturated but it does not undergo electrophillic addition reaction because saturating the carbon-carbon bonds destroys the delocalized pi-cloud and as we know that this delocalized pi-structure is very stable. So due to this benzene does not decolourises bromine water.
