It does not undergo the same reactions that other unsaturated hydrocarbons do.
I just had this question on an online chem 1010 quiz and that was the correct answer.
Methylbenzene (toluene) is a cyclic hydrocarbon based on the benzene ring (C6H6) with a methyl group (CH3) replacing one of the hydrogens to give C7H8. The benzene ring itself is a rather special kind of hydrocarbon, but is considered to be unsaturated - Therefore, toluene is unsaturated. The saturated equivalent of benzene is cyclohexane (C6H12). The saturated equivalent of toluene is methylcyclohexane, C7H14.
These are called alk'ene's, comparative to alkanes, the fully saturated hydrocarbons.There is also a special group of unsaturated (poly)-cyclic hydrocarbons, all with 6n carbon atoms: there generic name is ar'ene's: eg. benzene, naphtalene
benzene sulphonic acid
No!! Benzene wont de colourise bromine water although it is an unsaturated compound ,as it is an aromatic compound and it does not undergo addition reaction.
Phaeantharine is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon composed of three fused benzene rings. It is a composite of phenyl and anthracene.
A benzvalene is a highly reactive tricyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon, tricyclo[3.1-0.02,6]hex-3-ene, which is a valence isomer of benzene.
There is a benzene ring.So it is unsaturated.

Benzene is an organic substance, a hydrocarbon.

benzene sulphonic acid
depends on the hydrocarbon methane for example is not and benzene is
yes. MCB is mono chloro benzene and has one halogen (chloro) attached to the benzene ring.
Hydrocarbons which contain a benzene ring (google that yourself)
Benzine is not the same as Benzene. Benzine is a petroleum distilate, a mixture of organic chemicals derived by distilling petroleum, with boiling points within a defined range. Benzene in a single aromatic hydrocarbon (C6H6)
The benzene molecule is unsaturated but the double bonds present inside the benzene ring are delocalized due to bond resonance (pi structure). This makes the double bonds of benzene much less reactive then more discreet double bonds (as in ethylene). This structure makes it behave more like a saturated compound, preferring substitution reactions over addition reactions. It is resistant to addition reactions across the double bond because such a reaction reduces the resonance stabilization energy. However, when reactions do occur, resonance stability is almost always re-established (Birch Reduction reactions are exceptions. See related link).
