This is due to the -OH phenol functional group, which makes nitrating the molecule easier. Benzene has a delocalised pi-system above and below the plane of the molecule. The result of this is that: it is ...

Benzene has a planar structure with a bond angle of 120. The bonds between the carbon atoms in the ring are identical in strength and length. The length of the carbon-carbon bonds in benzene is intermedia...

This is a common example of a titration calculation which can be broken down into several key steps:1) Write a balanced equation for the redox reaction:MnO4 - + 8H+ + 5Fe2+ --> Mn2+ + 4H2O + 5Fe3+(This...

The enthalpy change of hydrogenation is less exothermic than suggested by the Kekulé model ( -208kJmol^-1 instead of the expected -357kJmol^-1), meaning Benzene is more thermodynamical...

There should be five peaks. In the process of bombarding the Br2 molecule with electrons to charge it, the molecule can fragment into 2 Br atoms. We should therefore expect to see peaks at 79 and 81 m/z. ...
