Within benzene the electrons within the pi-system are delocalised. This means the electrons are spread across the whole ring and has a lower electron density making it less susceptible to electrophilic at...

Butan-2-ol can be produced as a result of reducing butanone with NaBH4. The hydride ion in NaBH4 is used as a nucleophile which can attack the C on the (C=O )either above or below the plane, depending on ...

Na+ has +1 positive charge and therefore it has lost an electron.It loses its one electron in its 3s orbital as that electron is at the highest energy - h...

Zn --> Zn^2+ + 2e- (OXIDATION) H2^2- + 2e- --> H2 (REDUCTION)

Phenylamine is a weaker base than ammonia. The lone pair on the nitrogen of phenylamine is delocalised into the ring, thus making the lone pair less available to combine with hydrogen ions. Also, in order...
