Chapter 13, Problem 13.73CP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

By carrying out chemical reaction, difference between cyclohexene and benzene is to be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

Addition reaction: A general reaction type in which a substance X-Y adds to the multiple bond of an unsaturated reactant to yield a saturated product that has only single bonds.

Halogenation (Addition of halogen molecule to alkenes): The addition of halogen molecules like ${\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}{\text{ and Br}}_{\text{2}}$ to a multiple bond to give a dihalide product.

Aromaticity: The aromatic compounds are energetically stable due to the delocalization of pi-electrons in the ring.
