All bonds are equivalent

The ring is symmetric.Bond lengths are between a single and a double bond.

Benzene requires a strong electrophile and a catalyst…..and then it undergoes substitution reactions, not addition.

Alcohols and Water

• alcohols are “monosubstituted” water, ROH, hydrocarbon radical, R, substituted for one of the hydrogen atoms in water, HOH

• alcohols form hydrogen bonds to other alcohol molecules, increasing boiling point, and to water, making them very soluble in water
