In this lesson, we will learn how to describe the properties of benzene, explain its structure, and name its derivatives.

Students will be able to

describe and explain the bonding in benzene,
describe the structure of benzene and compare it with cycloalkenes,
outline the different methods used to synthesize benzene,
name benzene derivatives and use IUPAC nomenclature to name multisubstituted derivatives,
recall which substituents are ortho, meta, and para directing, and therefore predict the products of substitution reactions,
describe the physical properties of benzene.
