6. what three issues did kekule's model of benzene have?

  • low reactivity, uneven carbon bond length, higher enthlapy
  • low reactivity, uneven carbon bond length, lower enthlapy
  • high reactivity, even carbon bond length, higher enthlapy
  • high reactivity, uneven carbon bond length, higher enthlapy
  • low reactivity, even carbon bond length, lower enthlapy

7. what are the key structural features of the delocalised model of benzene?

  • trigonal planar 100 angle, pi bond causing a delocalised ring making it very stable
  • trigonal planar 100 angle, pi bond causing a localised ring making it very unstable
  • trigonal planar 120 angle, pi bond causing a delocalised ring making it very unstable
  • trigonal planar 120 angle, pi bond causing a delocalised ring making it very stable
  • trigonal planar 120 angle, pi bond causing a localised ring making it very unstable

8. which are examples of halogen carriers?

  • KBr3, SiBr3, AlCl3
  • FeBr3, AlBr3, AlCl3
  • KBr3, AlBr3, LiCl3
  • FeBr3, AlBr3, KCl3

9. what conditions are needed for the nitration of benzene?

  • HNaOH, 100 degrees celcius
  • NaOH, 50 degrees celcius
  • H2SO4, 50 degrees celcius
  • H2SO4, 100 degrees celcius

10. what is the general mechanism for the electrophillic substitution of benzene?

  • curley arrow from ring to E+. unstabe intermediate-H and E bonded. curley arrow from H to -ve ring. E bonded to benzene, and H+ ion
  • curley arrow from ring to E+. unstabe intermediate-H and E bonded. curley arrow from H to +ve ring. E bonded to benzene, and H+ ion
  • curley arrow from E+ to ring. unstabe intermediate-H and E bonded. curley arrow from -ve ring to H . E bonded to benzene, and H+ ion

11. state why phenol is more reactive.

  • Oxygen donates one electron to delocalised ring making it more negative and less electron dense, able to induce a dipole.
  • Oxygen donates lone pair to delocalised ring making it more negative and electron dense, able to induce a dipole.
  • Oxygen donates lone pair to delocalised ring making it less negative and less electron dense, unable to induce a dipole.
  • Oxygen donates lone pair to delocalised ring making it less negative and electron dense, able to induce a dipole.
  • Oxygen donates one electron to delocalised ring making it more negative and electron dense, unable to induce a dipole.

  • NaOH- sodium phenoxide and water Na- sodium phenoxide and hydrogen gas
  • NaOH- sodium phenoxide and water Na- sodium phenoxide and hydrogen liquid
