What is the formula of benzene?
C6H6
What flame does benzene burn with?
A sooty flame
What is the skeletal structure of benzene?
See card
Of double and single bonds, which are stronger?
Single
What are arenes?
Carbon rings
What is the structure of benzene?
Flat regular hexagon of carbon atoms 4th electron of each carbon is in the pi orbital These pi orbitals overlap which form a region of electron density above and below the ring
What gives benzene it’s stability?
The delocalised electron cloud
Why does benzene have a higher melting point than hexane?
The hexagonal molecules pack together well in the solid state which makes them harder to seperate
How do you name benzene rings?
(functional groups)benzene e.g. methylbenzene
What does the skeletal structure of benzene look like?
A hexagon with a circle in the middle
Why is benzene more stable than cyclohexa-1,3,5-triene?
Because of delocalisation
