6. Why is phenol more reactive than a benzene?
- Lone pair from O is delocalised into the ring, so higher electron density, so electrophile are more attracted.
- Lone pair from C is delocalised into the ring, so lower electron density, so electrophile are more attracted.
- Lone pairs from O is localised into the ring, so higher electron density, so electrophile are more attacked.
7. Phenol converted to sodium phenoxide C6H5O-Na+ choose a correct balanced equation for this reaction?
- C6H5OH + NaOH → C6H5O–Na+ + H2O
- C6H5OH + NaO → C6H5O+Na- + H2
- C6H5OH + NaOH → C6H4O–Na+ + O
8. How the benzene ring in the phenoxide ion is activated?
- lone/electron pair from O is delocalised into ring so increases π-electron density so attracted electrophiles more
- lone/electron pair from O is delocalised into ring so lowers π-electron density so attracted electrophiles less
- lone/electron pair from O is delocalised into ring so lowers π-electron density so attracted nucleophiles more
9. Why is NO2 + is described as an electrophile?
- It donated a pair of electrons from the benzene
- It accepts a pair of electrons from the benzene
- It accepts a lone pair of electrons from the benzene
10. Name four types of commercially material whose manufacture involves the nitration of benzene?
- Fibres, Dyes, Fertilsers, Nylon
- Fibres, Dyes, Explosives, Pharamaceuticals
- Fibres, Nylon, Polymers, Terylene
