Question
Chapter 8.1, Problem 2P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
- The better proposal for benzene’s structure has to be investigated.
Concept Introduction:
Early prediction of Benzene structure:
- Benzene had a molecular formula of
- It did not undergo the electrophilic addition reactions.
- While substituting any one of the benzene’s hydrogens, only one product was obtained.
- When the substituted product underwent a second substitution, three products were obtained.

Fatty acids are molecules with a carboxylic acid on one end and long hydrocarbon chain on the other. The sodium salts of fatty acids (such as sodium strearate, shown below) are commonly used in soaps to trap nonpolar dirt and grease particles.
Soap does not work well in "hard water, which is water with high concentration of magensium and calcium ions (often found in water obtained from wells) Explain this observation at a molecular level.
Bitumen (tar) is a mixture of various unsaturated (and also saturated)
hydrocarbons of different chain lengths (it is used to make road pavement - asphalt). Based
on your correlation, suggest a physical explanation of the fact that tar is black (i.e. absorbs
light of all wavelengths).
Next, let's explore what happens when you remove two hydrogens from the structure above and form ethene, CH,CH,. How many bonds should be between the
two carbons to give each carbon a total of four bonds?
Draw the structural formula for ethene, CH,CH,.

Benzene, toluene, aniline, and phenol are common structures from which most aromatic compounds are derived.

For example, this phenol derivative (Figure 2) is called 4-bromo-3-chlorophenol.
