Adding halogens to alkene groups (X2) requires that the product adopt an anti configuration. Hexene will also lose its double bond upon bromination. Benzene is energetically unfavorable when a reaction attempts to break its double bond. The resonance benzene has makes it very stable, and thus very hard to break.

Why doesn't benzene react in the bromine test and the baeyer's test?

due to extensive delocalization of pie-electrons of benzene , it do not undergoes Bayer's and bromine test. 6 carbon nuclei hold the pie electronic cloud which make it difficult for an electrophile to attack.


What is product of styrene react with bromine?

When styrene reacts with bromine, it undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution to form bromostyrene. This reaction involves the addition of a bromine atom to the benzene ring of the styrene molecule.


Is benzene reactive with bromine in the dark?

No, benzene is not reactive with bromine in the dark because the aromatic nature of benzene stabilizes its electron configuration. Without light or a catalyst, the reaction between benzene and bromine is not energetically favored.


What type of reaction occurs between hexene and bromine?

This is a classic electrophilic addition reaction and can be carried out with any of the halogens except fluorine which just explodes and ruins the whole thing! What's actually happening is that bromine becomes polarised on approach to the hexene double bond due to the pi bond electrons. These 'attack' the positively charged side of the bromine molecule forming a bromonium ion and leaving a negatively charged bromide ion. This then attacks the reverse side of the molecule (because it is easier to access (hindrance) and because the carbon is positvely charged). This forms the final product which is a dibromohexane... Hope that helps Richard


Is phenol easier or more difficult to substitute with bromine than benzene?

The substitution reactions of phenol are easier than benzene, phenol directly reacts with bromine and gives tribromo phenol while benzene requires FeCl3 as a catalyst and gives mono bromo phenol.

When benzene reacts with bromine water will it decolourise bromine water or not?

No!! Benzene wont de colourise bromine water although it is an unsaturated compound ,as it is an aromatic compound and it does not undergo addition reaction.


What is a simple chemical test to distinguish between bezene and hexane answer?

One simple chemical test to distinguish between benzene and hexane is the Bromine test. Benzene will not react with bromine in the absence of a catalyst, while hexane will readily react with bromine to form a colorless product.


How can you distiguish between hexene and hexane?

These compounds may be distinguish very easily hexene is an unsaturated compound and undergoes addition reactions with Bromine water(Red) and aqueous solution of KMnO4(Violet), the decolorization of these reagents confirm the presence of hexene while benzene is an aromatic compound and does not react with Br2 and KMnO4 solution.


What kind of reaction occurs when hexene decolourises bromine in carbon tetrachloride?

When hexene decolourises bromine in carbon tetrachloride, an addition reaction occurs. The double bond in hexene reacts with bromine, resulting in the formation of a vicinal dibromide. This reaction leads to the loss of the characteristic reddish-brown color of bromine, indicating that the bromine has been consumed in the reaction.

What happens when bromine is mixed with benzene with an FeBr3 catalyst?

When bromine is mixed with benzene in the presence of FeBr3 catalyst, bromination of benzene occurs. The FeBr3 catalyst activates the bromine molecule to form a bromine cation, which then electrophilically attacks the benzene ring, replacing a hydrogen atom with a bromine atom. This results in the formation of bromobenzene.

Another test for hexane and hexene apart from bromine?

Another test to differentiate between hexane and hexene is performing a reaction with potassium permanganate in acidic conditions. Hexane will not react with potassium permanganate, while hexene will undergo a color change as the double bond is oxidized by the permanganate ion.


What is the reaction of 3-hexene and Br2?

3-Hexene is an alkene reactant that can either be trans or cis. Br2 is a ragent and stands for Bromine. In order to know the reaction between 3-hexene and Br2 we have to know whether it is trans-3-hexene or cis-3-hexene.


What happened with Hexane and hexene when it is combined with HCL and also NaOH?

There will be no reaction of Hexane as it does'nt have any reactive sites. Hexene will react only with Hcl as the double bond is nucleophilic to give poly chlorinated hexane. Hexene will not react with NaOH
