**Resonance Stabilization of Aryl Halides**

**Introduction**
Aryl halides (also known as aryl halogen compounds) are organic compounds that contain a halogen atom (such as chlorine, bromine, or iodine) attached to an aromatic ring. In comparison to alkyl halides, aryl halides are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions. The main reason behind this difference in reactivity is the resonance stabilization of aryl halides.

**Resonance Stabilization**
Resonance stabilization refers to the delocalization of electrons in a molecule or ion through the overlap of p-orbitals. In the case of aryl halides, the aromatic ring (such as benzene) possesses a system of conjugated π electrons. These π electrons are delocalized over the entire ring, leading to resonance stabilization.

**Resonance Structures**
In aryl halides, the resonance structures can be represented as follows:

**Resonance Stabilization Effect**
The resonance stabilization of aryl halides makes it difficult for a nucleophile to attack the electrophilic carbon atom attached to the halogen. This is because the electrons of the aromatic ring are already delocalized and contribute to the stability of the molecule. As a result, the electron density on the carbon atom is reduced, making it less susceptible to nucleophilic attack.

**Comparison with Alkyl Halides**
In contrast, alkyl halides do not possess a conjugated system of π electrons and, therefore, lack resonance stabilization. The electron density on the carbon atom in alkyl halides is higher, making them more prone to nucleophilic attack.

**Other Factors**
While resonance stabilization is the primary reason for the decreased reactivity of aryl halides towards nucleophilic substitution reactions, other factors such as the larger carbon-halogen bond length and the formation of less stable carbonium ions also contribute to their lower reactivity. However, these factors are not as significant as the resonance stabilization effect.

**Conclusion**
In conclusion, aryl halides are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions compared to alkyl halides due to their resonance stabilization effect. The delocalization of electrons in the conjugated π system of the aromatic ring reduces the electron density on the carbon atom, making it less susceptible to nucleophilic attack.

    Obs mol wt. = (1+ x)M 
  • b)
    M = (1+ x)×Obs mol. wt.
  • c)
    Obs mol wt. = x×M
  • d)
    M = x×obs mol.wt
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Shruti Yadav answered
Explanation:

The osmotic pressure method is used to determine the molecular weight of a solute (in this case, NaCl) by measuring the pressure required to prevent the flow of water through a semipermeable membrane. The molecular weight obtained by this method is known as the observed molecular weight.

However, in reality, NaCl does not exist as a single molecule in solution, but rather as ions (Na+ and Cl-) that are dissociated from each other. The extent of dissociation is given by the degree of dissociation (x).

The actual molecular weight of NaCl is M, which is the sum of the atomic weights of sodium and chlorine.

Now, the relationship between the observed molecular weight and the actual molecular weight can be described as follows:

- The observed molecular weight is equal to the actual molecular weight multiplied by (1 - x). This is because the observed molecular weight is lower than the actual molecular weight due to the presence of dissociated ions that contribute to the osmotic pressure. Thus, the formula is:

Observed molecular weight = (1 - x) x Actual molecular weight

- Therefore, the correct option is B, which states that M = (1 - x) x Observed molecular weight.

The utility of the polymers in various fields is due to their mechanical properties like tensile strength , elasticity, toughness etc.These properties mainly depend upon intermolecular forces like van der Waal’s forces and hydrogen bonding operating in polymer molecules. Polymers have been classified on this
basis,e.g.(1) Elastomers (2) Thermoplacstics (4)Thermosetting. Hence
The molecular forces of attraction are weakest in
  • a)
    elastomers
  • b)
    fibres
  • c)
    thermoplastics
  • d)
    thermosetting polymers
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding Polymer Types
Polymers can be classified based on their mechanical properties and the intermolecular forces that hold their molecular chains together. The three main categories include elastomers, thermoplastics, and thermosetting polymers.
Elastomers: Weak Intermolecular Forces
- Elastomers are known for their exceptional elasticity and flexibility.
- The intermolecular forces in elastomers, primarily van der Waals forces and weak hydrogen bonding, are relatively weak.
- This allows elastomers to stretch and return to their original shape, making them ideal for applications like rubber bands and tires.
Thermoplastics: Moderate Intermolecular Forces
- Thermoplastics possess stronger intermolecular forces compared to elastomers.
- These materials can be heated and reshaped multiple times without significant chemical change, due to more robust van der Waals forces and some hydrogen bonding.
- Common examples include polyethylene and polystyrene.
Thermosetting Polymers: Strong Intermolecular Forces
- Thermosetting polymers have the strongest intermolecular forces among the three types.
- They undergo a chemical change during the curing process, leading to a rigid structure that cannot be remolded.
- Examples include epoxy resins and phenolic resins, which showcase high strength and thermal stability.
Conclusion: Why Elastomers Have the Weakest Forces
- The key reason elastomers have the weakest intermolecular forces is their design, which prioritizes flexibility and stretchability.
- This flexibility is essential for their applications, allowing them to absorb energy and deform under stress. Thus, the correct answer is option 'A.'

For the reaction the order of reactivity is
  • a)
    HI>HCl>HBr
  • b)
    HI>HBr>HCl
  • c)
    HCl>HBr>HI
  • d)
    HBr>HI>HCl
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Longer the bond length,lesser will be dissociation energy and hence,more reactivity
Among halogen acids bond length increases from HCl to HI.
Therefore order of reactivity of halogen acids toward alcohol is
HI>HBr>HCl

Which of the following statements about phenol is correct?
  • a)
    It is a stronger base than ammonia
  • b)
    It is a stronger acid than carbonic acid
  • c)
    It is a weaker acid than carbonic acid
  • d)
    It is neutral to litmus
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Janani Chopra answered
Phenol as an Acid
- Phenol is a weak acid compared to carbonic acid.
- Phenol has a pKa value of around 9.95, indicating that it is a weaker acid than carbonic acid which has a pKa value of around 6.37.
- The lower the pKa value, the stronger the acid. Since carbonic acid has a lower pKa value than phenol, it is a stronger acid.

Phenol as a Base
- Phenol is not a base but rather an acidic compound.
- It does not have the ability to donate a proton to another molecule, which is a characteristic of bases.
- Ammonia, on the other hand, is a weak base as it can accept a proton to form its conjugate acid.

Phenol's Reaction with Litmus
- Phenol is slightly acidic in nature and can turn blue litmus paper red.
- Litmus paper turns red in acidic solutions and blue in basic solutions.
- Therefore, phenol would be able to change the color of litmus paper, indicating its acidic nature.
In conclusion, the correct statement is that phenol is a weaker acid compared to carbonic acid. It is not a base like ammonia and can exhibit acidic properties by changing the color of litmus paper.
