Sal gives a good recap of the pi electron behavior in the aromatic compounds originating from a benzene ring. The hybridization leading to a conjugated system of pi electrons is diagrammed, and he recaps a comparison of their stability.
The stability of an aromatic benzene ring that has other things attached, such as halides or OH groups, is discussed. The substitution reaction is detailed and the behavior of the strong electrophile initiating the reaction is described. Diagrams of the electrophile behavior and relatively stable carbocations are given. How a ring stabilizes after bonding is discussed, which will be very useful for your class.
In this aromatic systems worksheet, students draw the structures of the given compounds and name compounds shown. Students complete the reactions given. This worksheet has 4 problems to solve.
Public health trainees read and write a summary of the article, "A Whiff of Danger". The article is not available through the link, but can be found on the National Center for Biotechnology Information website. After summarizing, learners consult a chart of musk chemicals and answer questions about molecular weight, chemical structure, and more. The complexity of the material makes it most appropriate for high school or college chemistry courses.
Chemistry scholars learn to identify and name cycloalkane and benzene structures. The diagrams used to demonstrate are distinct and the explanations are clear. Learning check and solution slides are embedded within the presentation. This coherent PowerPoint is a valuable addition to your collection of chemistry resources.
Starting with a diagram of a concrete example of electrophilic aromatic substitution, this video recaps diagrams of the electrophile behavior and how they "attack" relatively stable carbocations.
In this compounds worksheet, students write the IUPAC names for given aromatic compounds and they draw line formulas for eight aromatics.
For this aromatic compounds worksheet, students write the IUPAC names for given aromatic compounds and they draw line formulas for molecules.
Nine action-packed organic chemistry exercises are contained in this mini-unit on carbon containing compounds. Examples include constructing models of alkanes, producing aromatic esters, and preparing pigments for paint and dyes. Chemistry scholars learn to write molecular formulas and draw structures for carbon compounds. Because of the complexity of the activities and level of skills required, this would not be recommended for first-year chemistry classes. It is, however, a superior resource!
In this chemistry worksheet, students identify which has the highest boiling point, as well as the lowest. Then they identify which compound is least soluble in water and why. Students also classify each of the compounds listed on the sheet.
