Help with chemistry question please?

Question

Why is benzene more reactive than hexane but less reactive then hexene considering its structure?

Could someone please explain this to me

Thank you

Answer 1

Hexane --  all C to C bonds are single bonds -- most stable structure

Benzene -- ring structure with alternating double bonds -- that makes it have resonance -- less stable than single bonds but more stable than normal double bonds because of the resonance

hexene -- 3 double bonds with NO resonance -- least stable
