3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What type of bonds do alkenes contain?
Consider how many bonds are between the carbons.
Is benzene more or less stable than alkenes?
Think about how the electrons are arranged in benzene.
What kind of reaction does benzene primarily undergo?
Think about what type of reaction maintains benzene's structure.
True or False: Benzene has distinct carbon-carbon bond lengths that vary between single and double bonds.
Consider how the electrons are arranged in the benzene structure.
Draw the structure of benzene and label its bond lengths. Compare this with an alkene's dual bond lengths and explain the implications on reactivity.
Use your knowledge of resonance to explain these concepts.
Predict the product formed when benzene undergoes nitration and explain the mechanism. How does this differ from alkene reactions?
Think about how electrophiles interact with double bonds versus with the delocalized system.
