- Azulene, an isomer of naphthalene, has a remarkably large dipole moment for a hydrocarbon (μ = 1.0 D). Explain, using resonance structures.arrow_forwardThe pentadienyl radical, H2C“CH¬CH“CH¬CH2#, has its unpaired electron delocalized over three carbon atoms.(a) Use resonance forms to show which three carbon atoms bear the unpaired electron.(b) How many MOs are there in the molecular orbital picture of the pentadienyl radical?arrow_forwardCompound X (molecular formula C10H12O) was treated with NH2NH2, −OH to yield compound Y (molecular formula C10H14). Based on the 1HNMR spectra of X and Y given below, what are the structures of X and Y?arrow_forward
- There are three different dichloroethylenes (molecular for-mula C₂H₂Cl₂), which we can designate X, Y, and Z. CompoundX has no dipole moment, but compound Z does. Compounds Xand Z each combine with hydrogen to give the same product:C₂H₂Cl₂ (X or Z) +H₂→ClCH2-CH2Cl What are the structures of X, Y, and Z? Would you expect com-pound Y to have a dipole momenarrow_forward(a) Structure A shown below is a badly drawn organic molecule HO- CH3 COOH H A Explain, with reference to orbital hybridisation, why structure A is incorrect. Draw a correct representation of the structure. (i) (ii) Give the IUPAC name for structure A and show how you determined it.arrow_forwardThe unsaturation number or degree of unsaturation (U) can be used to determine the number of rings and multiple bonds in a compound from its molecular formula. Given a structure, you can determine the number of hydrogens without having to count them explicitly. Consider three compounds and their degree of unsaturation. (a) A compound A has the molecular formula C7H13ClN2OC7H13ClN2O. How many rings and/or π bonds does it contain?arrow_forward
- Describe two significant differences between the infrared spectra of ethyl alcohol(CH3CH2OH) and ethylene (CH=CH).arrow_forward4. 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…arrow_forwardAn example of a conjugated system is two positively charged carbons separated by one single bond one negatively charged carbon adjacent to a л bond two negatively charged carbons separated by one single bond one positively charged carbon adjacent to a σ bondarrow_forward
- The bonding between the carbon and oxygen in a ketone can be described as C(sp2)-0(sp²), o-bond and C(p)-O(p), л-bond. How would you describe the bonding between carbon and oxygen in a ketene? Sketch the orbitals used to make the bonds in the ketene. H a ketenearrow_forwardestimate whether the compound will have a large, small, or zero dipole moment.(a) CH3¬CH“N¬CH3 (b) CH3¬CH2OH (c) CBr4arrow_forwardComplete energy diagram for the two-step conversion of A–B + C:−→ A:− + B–Carrow_forward
