Why do 5-membered ring aromatic heterocycles pyrrole and furan undergo electrophilic substitution more rapidly than benzene while 6-membered ring heterocycles like pyridine are less reactive than Benz?
pyridine is less reactive than benzene because when we form its conjugate base then it'll b more stable than dat of benzene.. so more stabler means less reactive.......and also due to more resonance in benzene it will b more reactive...same 4 furan and pyrrole
Is benzene less reactive towards electrophillic substitution reaction?
No, Haloarenes are less reactive than benzene towards electrophillic substitution reaction. This is because the halogen atom attached to benzene ring in haloarenesis slightly deactivating and orthoand para directing. so attack can only take place at orthoand para. Also the halogen atom in Haloarenesdue to its -I effect has some tendancyto withdraw electrons from the benzene ring and hence making it deactivating.Since the ring gets deactivated as compared to benzene, haloarenesare less reactive than benzene in electrophillicsubstituionreaction.
Why is benzene less reactive than alkenes though it has three pi bonds?
It's because of resonance, which is the delocalization of electrons (the pi electrons). This delocalization lowers the potential energy of the benzene and thus renders in more stable.
Is hydrogen recative?
Hydrogen is more reactive than Copper, but less reactive than Zinc which is less reactive than Magnesium which is less reactive than Potassium. Potassium is the most reactive of all, relatively speaking.
Does toluene contain benzene?
Less than 0.01%

Why is aspirin more reactive than benzene?
Benzene has a stable structure. Aspirin has an carboxylic group with delocalized electrons. So aspirin is more reactive than benzene.
Which is most reactive ethyne or benzene?
An alkene is more reactive than alkyne. as double bond can donate pair of electron. while in tripple bond the bond length is less than double bond. Alkkynes have more attractive forces than alkene. so alkene is more reactive.

What element is less reactive than potassium but more reactive than carbon?
Sodium
Is titanium more reactive than sodium?
No, titanium is less reactive than sodium.
Is noble gases metals that are more reactive than the transition elements but less reactive than the alkali metals?
No, the noble gasses are nonmetals that are less reactive than all other elements.
Why chlorobenzene is less reactive than chloroethane?
From an SN1 perspective, the more stable intermediate, the more reactive the substance. In both benzyl chloride and 1-chlorobutane, a primary carbon holds the halogen; primary carbons make awful carbocations. However, since benzyl chloride has a benzene ring in an alpha position to the primary carbon, there is the option for resonance of the carbocation to other positions in the molecule. This resonance greatly increases the stability of the intermediate to reaction, making reaction easier to initiate, increasing reactivity
Does heat of hydrogenation of benzene is less than the theoretical value?
yes
