Discuss why benzene is so stable, and why it reacts differently than alkenes? I know that the reason that it is so stable has something to do with its electrons and resonance, but please help me with this, and also with the second part of the question.

Which of the following statements regarding resonance contributors and resonance hybrids is correct?

A. The greater the predicted stability of a resonance contributor, the less it contributes to the resonance hybrid.

B. The resonance hybrid is more stable than the predicted stability of any of its resonance contributors because it is the sum of all stable resonance contributors.

C. The fewer nearly equivalent resonance contributors are in the structure, the greater the resonance energy.

D. The resonance hybrid will show all pi bonds and locations of all full charges.

I know the correct answer is B. I am having trouble understanding resonance could you please explain why A,C, and D is wrong and why B is correct.

Consider the following hydrohalogenation reactions with the two substrates A and B. For each show ALL possible cationic intermediates, (if resonance stabilizes any of the cations you must show all resonance structures). Circle the most stable cationic intermediate and show the major neutral product from each reaction.

Which of these substrates do you think would react faster under these conditions and why? Thank you for your help! :') I really appreciate it.

Also, Please help me with these.

Please tell me which reason Hexyl Chloride reacts faster, because I tried both cyclohexyl chloride options

Please help me which options are correct and which are not.
