Explain the flammability of aromatic versus aliphatic molecules from an energy perspective assuming the bond strength of a C==C bond is approximately twice as much as the bond strength of a C—C bond. Also, that the bond strength of a hydrogen attached to a benzene is about 20% higher than the bond strength of hydrogen attached to propylene
What will be an ideal response?
Flammability is a measure of a material's ability to perpetuate a flame. This is done as heat is released when bonds are formed. Typically the bonds that reform are those between hydrogens and oxygens. As the energy in bonds increases, it becomes more difficult to break the bonds (requires higher temperatures) and change it to heat energy. Therefore, the carbon double bonds in the benzene ring of the aromatics will increase the energy required for burn as well as the bond between the hydrogens and the benzene. In order to burn the aromatics, the applied heat to break bonds and begin
