more reactive compounfs
« on: November 15, 2010, 11:12:04 AM »
1. Is it correct to make a general statement that triple bond compounds are more chemically reactive than double bond, and that double bond compounds are more chemically reactive that single bond compounds?

2. Is it correct to say that a compound with two double bonds is more chemically reactive than a conpound with one double bond?

3. If I need to answer which compound Cyclohexene or Benzene would more likely to react with bromine, how can I explain that it is Cyclohexene. Is it really Cyclohexene?
 
Thank you very much

You are correct here.  Cyclohexene is more reactive.  Benzene is extremely stable due to resonance.
