Explanation
Which of the following has the maximum melting point?
Aromatic compound burn with smoky flame because
they have a ring structure of carbon atom. This causes
incomplete combustion of the carbon chain. Thus ,Aromatic
compounds burn with smoky flame.
For option C :
Aromatic compounds are resonance stabilised .
Hence, these are generally stable.
Since, the given statement is wrong.
For option D:
Aromatic compounds generally participate in
many substitution reactions.Since, the given statement
is also correct.
Among all options, option C is the only wrong option.
Question is a fact.
Since, Option C is correct.
It can be determined by the Huckel's Rule (4n+2 rule):
In order to be aromatic, a molecule must have a certain
number of pi electrons (electrons with pi bonds, or lone
pairs within p orbitals) within a closed loop of parallel,
adjacent p orbitals.
For benzene, there is 1 aromatic compound .
Then n = 1
From Huckel’s rule
Number of pi electrons = 4n + 2
=4x1 + 2
= 6
The number of π−electronsπ−electrons in benzene
molecule is 6.
Since, Option A is correct.
Benzene is much more stable than expected.
The extra stability means that benzene will less
readily undergo addition reactions. In benzene,
the π-electrons are delocalised and makes the
structure more stable. Thus, benzene does not
give addition reactions because of resonance
stabilisation.
The more loosely held electrons are open to attack by
electrophiles. Hence, the characteristic reaction
of benzene is electrophilic substitution.
Example: Nitration and Suphonation of Benzene.
So it does not undergo Elimination reaction.
Since, option A is correct.
