35.

Which of the following is true concerning the properties of benzene and hexane?

A. Both undergo substitution reaction

B. Both undergo addition reaction

C. Both are solids

D. Both can decolourized bromine water

Detailed Solution

Hexane and benzene can both partake in substitution reactions.
36.

The diagram above represents an atom that can combine with chlorine to form

A. a covalent bond
