aromatic compounds are also called as __ or __
- aromatics
- arenes
aromatic compounds are characterized by the presence of __ or __ __ and are __ __ __
- one or more rings
- uniquely stable structures
result of strong bonding arrangements between certain pi electrons of molecules
uniquely stable structures
Two categories of aromatic compounds
- Benzenoids
- Non-benzenoids
contains benzene rings
benzenoids
exhibits an aromatic behavior but does not contain a benzene ring
non-benzenoids
polarity of aromatic compounds
non-polar
solubility of aromatic compounds in water
non-miscible
reactivity of aromatic compounds
usually unreactive
carbon to hydrogen ratio of aromatic compounds is __
high
aromatic compounds flame
sooty yellow flame
classification of aromatic compounds
- nuclear-substituted compounds
- side chain substituted compounds
any aromatic compound whenever any substituent or functional group is directly linked to the benzene ring
nuclear-substituted compounds
any aromatic compounds if the functional group is available in the side chain of the ring
side chain substituted compounds
one of the most commonly known aromatic compounds with chemical formula C6H6
benzene
benzene is a naturally occurring substance produced by __ and __ __
- volcanoes
- forest fires
benzene is said to be highly toxic in nature and is also known as a __
carcinogen
average mass of benzene
78.112 g/mol
property of cyclic and planar molecules having resonance bonds exhibiting more stability than the connective or geometric arrangements within the same kind of atoms
aromaticity
Huckel’s Rule of Aromaticity
- planar
- conjugated
- presence of (4n+2)=π (n=2, 6, 10, 14)
entire molecule must be fully planar
planarity
entire molecule must have complete delocalization of the pi electrons
conjugated
proposed huckel’s rule of aromaticity
Erich Huckel
when one of the positions on the ring has been substituted with another atom or group of atoms
monosubstituted benzene
how are monosubstituted benzenes named
using the substituent followed by benzene without number to indicate position
