How does it account for benzene's extraordinary stability ? Give an orbiial picture of benzene ?



The ring is comprised of six sp2 hybridized carbon's each sigma bonded  to carbon’s and an H. (Fig-1) Each Carbon  also has a "p" AO with one electron :  the AO's project above and below the plane of the ring which is a nodal plane. Rather than form three localized alternating doubic bonds (cycIohexatriene). these "p" AO's overlap  laterally to form an extended π-system in which the electrons  are symmetrically delocalized over all six carbon's making the Carbon's equivalent . (Fig-2) Delocalization results in less electron repulsion, greater stabilizalion, and lower energy.

What is Victory-Meyer's test and how can distinction between 1°, 2° and 3° alcohols by this ?

Victory- Meyer's test use for distinction of 1°, 2° and 3° alcohols which include a series of reagent as given below :



Benzaldehyde gives a positive test with Tollen's reagent but not with Benedict's and Fehling's solution. Comment why?

Benedict's solution (Cu+2 citric acid + base) and Fehling's solution (Cu+2  tartaric acid + base) are weaker oxidising agents than Tollen's reagent [Ag(NH3)2]+, they oxidise alipharic aldehydes only, but are not capable of oxidising aromatic aldehydes.

Aromatic amines are lesser basic than aliphatic amines.why ?


Aliphatic amines are more basic in nature than aromatic amines because In aliphatic amines the electron density around N atom increases due to - I effect of alky  group and thus chance for proton attack also Increases.
On the other hand in aromatic amines the electron density around N atom decreases due to withdrawing nature of aromatic ring hence thus chance for proton attack on nitrogen atom decreases.
