An alkane is obtained as the only product on subjecting a primary alkyl halide to Wurtz reaction. On monobromination this alkane yields a single isomer of tertiary bromide. Write the structure of alkane and the tertiary bromide.
Important Questions on Hydrocarbons
The ring systems having following characteristics are aromatic.
(i) Planar ring containing conjugated bonds.
(ii) Complete delocalisation of the -electrons in ring system i.e. each atom in the ring has unhybridised p-orbital, and
(iii) Presence of -electrons in the ring where n is an integer [Huckel rule].
Using this information classify the following compounds as aromatic/ nonaromatic.
Which of the following compounds are aromatic according to Huckel’s rule?
