In electrophilic aromatic substitution, the benzene ring acts as an electron donor (Lewis base or nucleophile) and reacts with an electron acceptor (Lewis acid or electrophile). The result of electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions is that an aromatic hydrogen is replaced by some other atom or functional group.
The electron affinity of molecules is a complicated function of their electronic structure. For instance the electron affinity for benzene is negative, as is that of naphthalene, while those of anthracene, phenanthrene and pyrene are positive.
