The hydrogenation of benzene is an example of an:
Correct answer: A. Addition reaction
- A. Addition reaction
- B. Substitution reaction
- C. Elimination reaction
- D. Polymerization
Explanation
In this reaction, hydrogen atoms are added across the double bonds of the benzene ring, breaking the pi bonds to form a saturated cyclohexane ring. This process, where atoms are added to an unsaturated molecule, is an addition reaction.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
