Question
Answer
What does it mean a conjugated system ?   The double bonds are separated by only one single bond  
🗑
What is the formula of the simplest aromatic hydrocarbon (or arene) and what is its name?   Benzene C6H6  
🗑
How many degrees of unsaturation has Benzene ?   Benzene has 4 degrees of unsaturation, this is Highly unsaturated.  
🗑
To what kind of reaction benzene does not undergo ?   Benzene does not undergo addition.  
🗑
What are the Kekule structures ?   Kekule structures are rapidly equilibrating mixture of two compounds, each containing a six-membered ring.  
🗑
what does any structure for benzene must have ?   1) 6 Member ring and 3 additional degrees of unsaturation. 2) Planar 3) All C-C bonds are equal in lenght.  
🗑
What is the hybridization and bond angle of each carbon atom in benzene ?   All C-C bonds are sp^2 hybridized, and trigonal planar with 120*  
🗑
Benzene reacts with nucleophiles or electrophiles ?   Benzene reacts with Electrophile due to the 6 delocalized electrons above the ring.  
🗑
What special H NMR characteristic does the Benzene group has ?   The absorption at 6.5-8.0 ppm  
🗑
What is the requirement for a molecule to be Ortho, meta or para   ortho has a -1,2- metra has a -1,3- para has a -1,4- substitute in the benzene ring  
🗑
What are Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbonds ?   Compounds containing two or more benzene rings that share C-C bonds, also called PAHs.  
🗑
How do we know Benzene unusually stable?   The low heat of hydrogenation of benzene means that benzene is specially stable.  
🗑
What are the Criteria a compound must have in order to be classified as aromatic ?   The molecule has to cyclic, planar, completely conjugated and contain a particular number of pi electrons.  
🗑
What does it mean for a compound to be cyclic ?   Each p orbital must overlap with p orbitals on two adjacent atoms.  
🗑
What does it mean for a compound to be Planar ?   All adjacent p orbitals must be Aligned so that the pi electron density can be delocalized  
🗑
What does it mean for a compound to be conjugated ?   That it must have a p orbital on every atom on the ring  
🗑
What is Huckel's rule and formula ?   Hucler's rule refers to the number of pi electrons (not the number of atoms) in a particular ring 4n +2Pi (n=0,1,2..) = aromatic 4n +pi = antiaromatic  
🗑
