Both are bicyclic aromatic solid compounds insoluble in water
The difference between Biphenyl and naphthalene is that Biphenyl is two phenyl groups linked by a single bond from a carbon on one phenyl group to another. Naphthalene shares two carbon atoms in between two phenyl groups.
Similar to dry ice (solid CO2), pressure is necessary for the formation of liquid naphthalene.
The chemical formula for biphenyl is C12H10
biphenyl is soluble in ethanol and also in most of organic solvents
4-acetyl biphenyl
A biphenyl is a substituted or otherwise altered version of the hydrocarbon C12H10, such as PCBs.
the melting point of biphenyl is 70 degrees Celsius.
Biphenyl has equal charges on both benzene rings, this material is non polar
No naphthalene is an organic aromatic hydrocarbon.
An aminobiphenyl is an amine derivative of biphenyl.
werde
Paradichlorobenzene dissolves in naphthalene because naphthalene is a solid and the other is a liquid. The solid dissolves the liquid.
