Benzene is relatively sluggish in its chemical reactions, generally requiring a catalyst for a reaction to occur. Why? Select one: O A. The benzene ring has three separate C=C's which causes it to resist chemical changes. O B. When benzene reacts, its sigma bonds undergo bond cleavage, a chemically difficult process. O C. Benzene reacts exclusively by free radical processes; such processes are known to proceed more slowly. O D. The benzene ring has enormous aromatic stability, resulting in a natural reluctance to undergo chemical changes.

Two useful organic compounds that contain Cl atoms are vinyl chloride (CH2 = CHCl) and chloroethane (CH3CH2Cl). Vinyl chloride is the starting material used to prepare poly(vinyl chloride), a plastic used in insulation, pipes, and bottles. Chloroethane (ethyl chloride) is a tica roman local anesthetic. Why is the C–Cl bond of vinyl chloride stronger than the C–Cl bond in chloroethane ?

2. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that contains iron and facilitates the transport of oxygen. The iron sits in the center of a heme ring in the form of Fe²+. The structure of a heme ring is here. H-C H-C H I H-C H H I C-N H-N-C C I C H C-N-H N-C C-H 1 C-H C-H H H a) The above structure is incomplete. Add electron pairs, non-zero formal charges, and/or additional bonds where needed to fulfill the octet rule to complete the structure. b) When Fe²+ is added to the structure in part a), the H atoms connected to the N are removed, see figure on the right. If you think of the heme ring as 4 N atoms, determine the molecular geometry of the new structure (you can draw it like [FeN4]2+). Imagine each N connects to Fe with a single bond. N- N Fe²+-N N
