1
Q
What is an Arena
A
Aromatic hydrocarbon containing one or more benzene rings
2
Q
What are the properties on benzene
A
•C6H6
•all bonds are same length
•colourless
•80c boiling point
•imiscable with water missable with organic solvents
3
Q
Why does benzene have higher boiling point than expected
A
The molecules can stack on one another
4
Q
What is an arena called if it had chlorine, hydroxide, amine or carboxylic acid attached
A
Chlorine - chloro benzene
Hydroxide - phenol
Amine - phenylamine
Carboxylic - benzene carboxylic acid
5
Q
Define electrophile
A
Electron deficient species that accept lone pairs of electrons
6
Q
How is benzene halogenated
A
Catalyst called halogen carrier using base of iron or aluminium (AlCl3). The halogen carrier induces polarisation in halogen molecules
