Benzene (C₆H₆) is a simple aromatic compound, which consists of a planar hexagonal ring of six carbon atoms, with each carbon being bonded to one hydrogen atom and two other carbon a...

Chlorine has a higher electronegativity, but as it has a large atomic radius the electron density is spread out over a large area. This means that the electron density is too low to form proper hydrogen b...

Heated under reflux with an acid catalyst such as H3PO4 or H2SO4

3-methylpent-1-ene

E-3-methylpent-2-ene

Z-3-methylpent-2-ene

More energy is required to break the metallic bonds in Magnesium, because: -Magnesium ions have a smaller ionic radius than Sodium ions so Magnesium is more closely packed -Mg2+ ions have a greater charge...

The lone pair of electrons on the amine are more available to accept a proton and act as a base. This is because in amides, the carbonyl (C=O) group is highly electronegative, so has a greater power to dr...
