Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Analyze how the presence of a nitro group affects the aromaticity of the benzene ring compared to an alkyl substituent, using inductive and resonance effects.
💡 Hint: Consider how substituents like -NO2 and -R shift the resonance structures.
Evaluate the stability of different enol and keto forms of a compound considering resonance. Discuss how electron displacement can shift stability.
💡 Hint: Think about how the keto form can distribute charge effectively due to π-bonding.
