4) Benzene, CHs, can be described as an aromatic substance and is a starting material for many organic processes as seen in the following. NO? benzene Compound A Compound B faming sulfuric acid SO?H Compound C a) Provide details of the bonding structure of benzene and sketch a diagram to show this. (3) b) For any one of these reactions above: 1) State the reagents required and include the details of the formation of the reactive species required to start the reaction. (3) ii) Provide details of the reaction mechanism for this chemical process making clear any intermediates formed. (3) c) in the context of benzene chemistry, a halogen substituent can be described as weakly activating. Explain the impact this has on the reaction rate of compound B relative to benzene in these types of reactions and provide a reason for this effect. (3)
