Hydrocarbons
Chemistry in Everyday Life
Estimated time: 8 minutes
Key Points: Aromatic Hydrocarbons
Cyclic, planar hydrocarbons with delocalised π electrons.
Benzenoids contain benzene ring; Non-benzenoids are aromatic without benzene ring.
Structure of Benzene:
- All 6 C atoms are sp² hybridised
- Unhybridised p-orbitals overlap laterally → delocalised π bonds
- Bond length = 139 pm (uniform, due to resonance)
Huckel's Rule
- Cyclic and planar
- Each ring atom has a p-orbital
- Contains (4n + 2) π electrons (n = 0, 1, 2…)
Examples: Benzene, Naphthalene, Pyridine.
Physical Properties:
- Colourless liquid, sweet smell
- BP = 353 K, MP = 278.5 K
- Immiscible with water; burns with sooty flame
Preparation:
Electrophilic Substitution:
