Benzyne, C 6 H 4 , is a highly reactive molecule that survives only at low temperatures.
Question:
Benzyne, C6H4, is a highly reactive molecule that survives only at low temperatures. It is related to benzene in that it has a six-membered ring of carbon atoms; but, instead of three double bonds, the structure is normally drawn with two double bonds and a triple bond.
(a) Draw a Lewis structure of the benzyne molecule. Indicate on the structure the hybridization at each carbon atom.
(b) On the basis of your understanding of bonding, explain why this molecule might be highly reactive.
