. The pyridine molecule (C3H;N) is obtained by replacing one C-H group in benzene with a nitrogen atom. Because nitrogen is more electronegative than the C-H group, orbitals with electron density on nitrogen are lower in energy. How do you expect the MOs and energy levels of pyridine to differ from those of benzene?

Two useful organic compounds that contain Cl atoms are vinyl chloride (CH2 = CHCI) and chloroethane (CH;CH;CI). Vinyl chloride is the starting material used to prepare poly (vinyl chloride), a plastic used in insulation, pipes, and bottles. Chloroethane (ethyl chloride) is a local anesthetic. Why is the C – Cl bond of | vinyl chloride stronger than the C – Cl bond in chloroethane.
4. Octatetraene, C8H10, is an 8-membered linear carbon chain with alternating single and double bonds. As a result, each carbon is left with an unhybridized p-orbital containing one electron. This problem will take you through steps to construct and fill the molecular orbital diagram for octatetraene based on the way these different p-orbitals can come together. a) The various molecular orbitals formed from octatetraene’s 8 unhybridized p-orbitals are shown on the next page. Draw the nodal planes for each molecular orbital. Hint: A nodal plane is a line through the molecule that denotes the sites of destructive interference. An example is shown below with ethylene. b) Based on the nodal planes, arrange the energy levels corresponding to the 8 molecular orbitals on the energy level diagram (label them using the numbering provided on the left side of the molecular orbitals) on the next page, in order of lowest to highest energy. c) Populate your molecular…
