Vedclass · Answer

(B) The reaction of benzene with $Cl_2$ in the presence of ultraviolet light $(h
u)$ is an electrophilic addition reaction (specifically,a free radical addition) that results in the formation of $1,2,3,4,5,6$-hexachlorocyclohexane $(C_6H_6Cl_6)$,commonly known as Benzene Hexachloride $(BHC)$ or Gammaxene.$1$. $BHC$ is indeed known as Benzene Hexachloride.$2$. The product $P$ $(C_6H_6Cl_6)$ is a saturated cyclic compound (cyclohexane derivative) and is non-aromatic,as it lacks the delocalized $\pi$-electron system present in benzene.$3$. $BHC$ is widely used as an insecticide.$4$. The reaction involves the addition of $Cl_2$ across the double bonds of benzene via a free radical mechanism.Therefore,the statement that $P$ is aromatic is incorrect.
