Explain how you can prove that C6H6 does not form 1,3,5-Cyclohexatriene but forms Benzene

There are three reasons that suggest the former is not formed:The first Reason is average bond length, this is calculated that each c-c bond is in between the length expected of a c-c and a c=c bond sugge...

What happens to the physical properties(solubility/boiling/melting point) as chain length increases, and as functional groups are added onto the chemical compound?

As chain length increases, the boiling/melting point of hydrocarbon compounds increases. This is because whether a compound will change state from liquid to gas (boil) or not, depends upon the intermolecu...

Describe the key properties that rely upon metallic bonding and explain this.

Metallic bonding consists of a strong electrostatic attraction between positive metal cations and delocalised electrons. This arrangement is regular and the attraction is non-directional meaning that laye...

What is the difference between an isotopic and isoelectronic species?

Isotopes are chemical species that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons as each other in their nuclei. For example, Deuterium (H2) and Tritium (H3) are ...
