A Level Chemistry Revision (Year 13) "Directing Groups in the Reactions of Benzene" (OCR)

[@yaraxox]

Great video

[@claudioaguilar5135]

hi sir, will you ever go through a level physics? many thanks

[@Freesciencelessons]

Hi. I'm afraid that I've never taught A level Physics so I have no plans to make videos for that.

[@claudioaguilar5135]

real shame, thanks anyway !@@Freesciencelessons

saved me in gcse's and doing it again 🙏

Are electron withdrawing groups less reactive than benzene but electron donating ones more reactive?

[@Freesciencelessons]

Electron withdrawing groups are not more or less reactive than benzene. They make the benzene ring less reactive. Electron donating groups make the benzene ring more reactive.

[@jacopo3728]

Are electron withdrawing groups also considered directing groups? Or is it only electron donating groups

[@Freesciencelessons]

No they can both be directing groups. Electron withdrawing groups such as nitro direct towards carbon 3.

[@Beautifulday1231r]

I thought for No2 group it is direct substituted at 3,5? not just 3..

Hi sir, was just wondering when you’d finish all Biology+Chemistry contents for OCR yr12&13???Thanks a lot.Since I’m in yr 12 right now.

[@Freesciencelessons]

I'm now into the Year 13 work so I think I should be completely done near the end of 2024/early 2025.

[@AndyPeterBird]

Amazing, this will be useful for revision!

[@Freesciencelessons]

Thank you. Many students find this a hard topic. I'm happy to be able to help them.

[@AndyPeterBird]

@@Freesciencelessons I have to agree

[@Yuvi2909]

Do Relative abundance please 🙏

Wow thank you so much

[@Freesciencelessons]

Thanks. I hope you found it useful.
