aromatic compounds Flashcards
benzene undergoes mainly
substitution
what is the simplest aromatic hydrocarbon
benzene
what is the molecular formula of benzene
C6H6
in the kekule structure, do the single and double bond alternate around the ring
yes
what is a highly unsaturated molecule
benzene
what is the positive test for unsaturated benzene
if the orange red colour of bromine disappears/ decolorizes
what cant take place when the single and double bonds exchange position around the ring of the kekule structure
the reactions of alkanes cant take place
do the rings move slowly or rapidly around the single and double bonds exchange position around the ring of the kekule structure
rapidly
what is more stable than either of its contributing kekule structure
benzene
in the orbital model for benzene, each carbon atom is what hybridized
sp2
what is the angle of the orbital model for benzene
H-C-C
C-C-C
120 degree
in the delocalized pi cloud of benzene, what do the circle emphasize
it emphasize that the electrons are distributed evenly around the ring
the kekule structure is what kind of form
resonance form
the benzene ring is what kind of form
simplified depiction
is the double bonds in benzene are in fixed positions and why
no because the electrons are distributed evenly around the ring
what is ‘o’
ortho
what is ‘m’
meta
what is ‘p’
para
‘o’ is on what carbon
2&6
‘m’ is on what carbon
3&5
‘p’ is on what carbon
4
how to name benzene (from my understanding)
prefix + substituent + benzene
what is classified as arenes
aromatic compounds
aromatic carbons is classified as
arenes
Ar
aryl group
R
alkyl group
what is the removal of hydrogen from aromatic ring
aryl group
what is the removal of one hydrogen from an alkane chain (from an alkane substituent)
alkyl group
define arly group
the removal of hydrogen from aromatic ring
define alkyl group
the removal of one hydrogen from an alkane chain (from an alkane substituent)
what are the 2 aromatic compounds
phenyl group
benzyl group
what is formed by removing one H from benzene
phenyl group
what is the molecular formula of phenyl group
C6H5
what is the molecular formula of benzyl group
C6H5CH2
benzene undergoes substitution reaction but it reacts slowly with
Br2
