Benzaldehyde is less reactive than ethanal towards nucleophilic addition reactions. Explain why using words as well as structural drawings.
◦ The carbonyl carbon of bezaldehyde is more electrophilic than the ethanal because of the delocalization of the positive charge on the carbonyl carbon via resonance.
◦ The carbonyl carbon of bezaldehyde is less electrophilic than the ethanal, because of the localization of the positive charge on the carbonyl carbon via resonance.
◦ The carbonyl carbon of bezaldehyde is more electrophilic than the ethanal, because of the delocalization of the negative charge on the carbonyl carbon via resonance.
◦ The carbonyl carbon of bezaldehyde is less electrophilic than the ethanal because of the delocalization of the negative charge on the carbonyl carbon via resonance.
