Aromatic hydrocarbons ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aromatic hydrocarbons, also known as arenes, contain a series of alternating double bonds (π bonds) and single bonds on several consecutive carbon atoms in a ring structure known as an aromatic ring. They do not undergo addition reactions like alkenes but undergo substitution reactions more easily than saturated hydrocarbons. The carbon atoms in aromatic hydrocarbons are sp2 hybridized. The answer that mentions sp³ hybridization is not a valid option.
