(a)
Interpretation: The reason corresponding to the fact that the single kekule structure is consistent with the first result, but does not explain the second result is to be stated.
Concept introduction: Kekule structure of benzene consists of three alternating double and single bonds. But his structures do not take into the account of resonance structures of benzene.
(b)
Interpretation: The reason corresponding to the fact that resonance description of benzene is consistent with results of both reactions is to be stated.
Concept introduction: Kekule structure of benzene consists of three alternating double and single bonds. But his structures do not consider the resonance structures of benzene.
Most of the organic structures cannot be represented using single Lewis structure. Therefore, there exists more than one Lewis structure for representing a molecule or ion. These structures are known as resonance structures. These resonance structure combine together to give resonance hybrid that is lower in energy and is the most stable structure.

- Please answer the question and provide detailed explanations.arrow_forwardAll of these compounds would be produced (I think). In my book, I don't see any rules about yield in this case, like explaining that one product would be present in less yield for this reason or that reason. Please explain why some of these produce less yield than others.arrow_forward5. Fill in the missing molecules in the following reaction pathway.

Procedure Part 1: Customizing a Periodic Table Use a textbook or other valid source to determine which elements are metals, nonmetals, metalloids (called semimetals in some texts), alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, halogens, and noble gases. Download and print a copy of the Periodic Table of Elements. Use colored pencils, colorful highlighters, or computer drawing tools to devise a schematic for designating each of the following on the periodic table: Group numbers Period number Labels for these groups: alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, inner transition metals (lanthanides and actinides), other metals, metalloids (semimetals), other nonmetals, halogens, and noble gases Metals, nonmetals, and metalloids Note: Write the group and period numbers and color/highlight each element for categorization. Be sure to include a key for the schematic. Take a photo of the completed periodic table and upload the…arrow_forwardDon't used hand raiting and don't used Ai solutionarrow_forward
