The relative rates of reaction of ethane, toluene, and ethylbenzene with bromine atoms have been measured. The most reactive hydrocarbon undergoes hydrogen atom abstraction a million times faster than does the least reactive one. Arrange these hydrocarbons order of decreasing reactivity.
Plywood and particle board are often glued with cheap, waterproof urea-formaldehyde resins. Two to three moles of formaldehyde are mixed with one mole of urea and a little ammonia as a basic catalyst. The reaction is allowed to proceed until the mixture becomes syrupy, and then it is applied to the wood surface. The wood surfaces are held together under heat and pressure, while polymerization continues and cross-linking takes place. Propose a mechanism for the base-catalyzed condensation of urea with formaldehyde to give a linear polymer, and then show how further condensation leads to cross-linking.

A benzene ring alters the reactivity of a neighboring group in the so-called “benzylic” position, similarly to how a double bond alters the reactivity of groups in the “allylic” position. Benzylic cations, anions, and radicals are all more stable than simple alkyl intermediates. a) Use resonance structures to show the delocalization of the positive charge, negative charge, and unpaired electron of the benzyl cation, anion, and radical.
