Arenes Practice

This document is a chemistry practice worksheet on the topic of arenes for the 2021-2022 academic year. It contains multiple choice and structured questions to assess understanding of arenes, including benzene and substituted benzene derivatives. Students are asked about the structure and properties of benzene, mechanisms of electrophilic aromatic substitution, and synthesis of substituted arenes. The worksheet aims to help students learn about resonance stabilization of benzene and reactivity of aromatic compounds.
