Why does benzene undergo a substitution reaction with bromine, whereas cyclohexene undergoes an addition reaction with bromine?
◦ Cyclohexene has a mix of localized and delocalized π electrons, so substitution would disrupt this pattern and make the ring less stable.
◦ Benzene has delocalized π electrons not present in cyclohexene and adding bromine would result in a less stable, nonaromatic product.
◦ Benzene is highly unstable due to its lack of localized π electrons and this makes an addition reaction impossible.
◦ Benzene has localized π electrons and this forms a structure that is stable and very unreactive, preventing an addition reaction from occurring.
◦ Cyclohexene has delocalized π electrons that make it too stable to undergo an additional reaction.

Did you know?

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
