#1
Front (Question)

characterized by the presence of the benzene ring.

Back (Answer)

aromatic hydrocarbons

#2
Front (Question)

six-membered ring with alternating single and double bond.

Back (Answer)

benzene ring

#3
Front (Question)

unlike the typical alkene, benzene rings are typically stable due to presence of pi electrons that undergo what

Back (Answer)

electron delocalization

#4
Front (Question)

Aromatic compounds need to satisfy these requirements:

Back (Answer)

• cyclic • alternating single and double bond or all carbons are sp2 hybridized • planar • follow Huckel’s rule

#5
Front (Question)

state that total number of pi electrons of a aromatic ring is 4n + 2 (2, 6, 10, 14…)

Back (Answer)

Huckel’s rule

#6
Front (Question)

happens due to the presence of fully conjugated unsaturated ring systems

Back (Answer)

aromatic

#7
Front (Question)

the benzene is entirely this around the entire molecule

Back (Answer)

delocalized

#8
Front (Question)

benzene has this around the ring

Back (Answer)

partial pi electron density

Front (Question)

determine if the compound is an aromatic compound

Back (Answer)

#10
Front (Question)

undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution

Back (Answer)

aromatic compounds

#11
Front (Question)

in electrophilic aromatic substitution, this will attack the electrophile and substitute the electrophile for one of the H atoms

Back (Answer)

pi electrons

#12
Front (Question)

this is retained after electrophilic aromatic substitution

Back (Answer)

aromaticity

#13
Front (Question)

facilitates electrophilic aromatic substitution
