Structure of Bezene
flat triganol planar
mechanism: heterolytic electrophilic subsitution
- Benzene is unsaturated
- Benzene is more thermodynamically stable because of its ability to have a continous system of delocalised electrons.
- lower reactivity => higher thermodynamical stability
Evidence for benzene's delocalised structure
1) Benzene does not react with Br2 therefore no double bond
2) All bond lengths in benzene are equal => bond order 1.5
3) Enthalpy of hydrogenation of Benzene is low => more thermodynamically…
