Question

Mark the following statement true or false A benzene molecule ( The actual molecule, not a proposed model) has thre c=c's separated by three C-C' If you could answer the first problem as well that would be great. (ON-LINE) EXAM 2 Mark the following statement TRUE or FALSE Benzoic acid (C6H5co2H) is more reactive than benzene in an aromatic nitration reaction. Select one: A. TRUE OB. FALSE Mark the following statement TRUE or FALSE Abenzene molecule (the actual molecule, not a proposed model) has three C C's separated by three CCs. Select one A. FALSE OB. TRUE 3 Only one rxn occurs which one? CH:CH CH CHa

Explanation / Answer

1.

Benzoic acid is not much reactibe than benzene towards aromatic nitration reaction because,

-COOH group withdraws the electrons from the benzene group and creates shortness of nucleophilicity in the benzene. So the electrophile NO2+ cannot add easily.

So the given statement is false

2.

the benzene molecule has 3 C=C's seperated by 3 C-C's
