It's Benzene . Being an aromatic hydrocarbon it undergoes both addition and substitution reactions. With its major reactions being substitution and a few addition reactions.

Example of substitution reaction benzene undergoes is its reaction with halogens e.g chlorine to produce chlorobenzene and Hcl.It also reacts with ethene to give ethylbenzene.

Example of addition reaction involving benzene is its reaction with hydrogen gas to produce cyclohexane.

Hope this helped?
