Explain why benzene requires use of a halogen carrier catalyst to react with bromine while phenol does not.

The oxygen atom in the phenol molecule has a lone pair of electrons. These electrons become delocalised into the aromatic ring, increasing its electron density. This activates the ring. This causes Br

Explain why potassium is more reactive than sodium, giving the balanced chemical symbol equation for the reaction of potassium and water.

K + H₂O --> KOH + H₂Both potassium and sodium possess one electron in their outer shell. Both elements readily give up this unpaired electron and so for this reason are considere...
