At its discovery, benzene was recognized to be a unique unsaturated hydrocarbon because it either failed to react, by substitution with common reagents or reacted by addition that led to reactions with alkenes.

<h3>What are unsaturated hydrocarbons?</h3>

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are the hydrocarbons which have at least on double or triple carbon to carbon bond in its molecules.

All other hydrocarbons are unsaturated except for the alkanes and the cyclic alkanes.

Benzene is an aromatic compound which has a special six-carbon ring with are resonance structure reflecting the presence of three carbon-carbon bonds in its molecules.

The common reactions of unsaturated hydrocarbons are substitution and addition reactions.

However, benzene on its discovery did not undergo any of these reactions.

In conclusion, benzene showed a difference when compared with the common unsaturated hydrocarbons as it did not undergo either substitution or addition reactions.

Complete the paragraph about the formation of sodium phosphide.
Nadya [2.5K]
<h2>Let us complete it :</h2>

Explanation:

let us study about formation of sodium phosphide

Electrons are transferred from atoms of  sodium to atoms of phosphorous

The sodium atom looses electrons and the phosphorus atoms  

gains electrons .

C. This transfer makes the sodium atoms  acquire positive charge and phosphorous acquire negative charge .

As a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly  bond with

each other.

Bromine has an atomic mass of 79.9 amu, but only has 2 naturally occurring isotopes, Bromine-79 and Bromine-81. If Bromine-80 do
galina1969 [7]

Educated Guess Here!

Since Br-80 does not exist, maybe that means Br-79 or Br-81 have very unequal abundances. For example, Br-79 may have 75% abundance whereas Br-81 may have 25% abundance.
