-Hydrogenation was less exothermic than expected
-Bond lengths were intermediate and wasn’t symmetrical
-Benzene is resistant to electrophilic attack
What angle is benzene?
120*
What mechanism does benzene undergo?
Electrophilic subsititution
Why does benzene undergo substitution?
Because it may disturb its nature
What is the name when a OH- ion group is directly bonded to a benzene group?
Phenol
Describe the bonding in benzene.
-P orbitals overlap to form Pi bonds
-Pi electrons are delocalised
What is the definition of concordant results?
-Set of measurements that are very close together typically with0.1cm^3
write the equation of the formation to make the ion for electrophilic substitution with a bromine ion and the regeneration of the ion.
-Br2 + FeBr3 -> Br+ + feBr4-
-H+ FeBr4- -> FeBr3 + HBr
