Summary
Benzene planar and resonance stabilized
Huckels rule states that for a planar, cyclic compound
to be aromatic its uninterrupted cloud must contain
(4n+2) electrons, where n is any whole number
(0,1,2,)
Benzene
undergoes
electrophilic
aromatic
substitution reactions
Sigma complex is formed which is resonance
stabilized
Nitration, sulphonation, halogenation, Friedel Crafts
alkylation and Friedel Crafts acylation of benzene are
electrophilic substitution reactions
