Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The resonance structures for cyclopentadienyl anion to show the delocalization of the negative charge over all five carbons are to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The resonance structure with the greater number of covalent bonds contributes more to the resonance hybrid provided the octet rule is not exceeded for second-row elements.
A Lewis structure can have more than one structure; they are called resonating structures. The movement of a pair of electrons is shown by curved arrows.
The structure in which the negative charge is present on the most electronegative atom and the positive charge is present on the least electronegative element is known as the major resonance contributor.
The species having the smallest separation of oppositely charged atoms is the major contributor.

- 3) In the mid-1930s, the German theoretical chemist Erich Hückel developed a rule that dealt with the aromaticity of various compounds, which became known as the Hückel Rule. Which (parts) of the compounds listed below are aromatic? Justify your answer based on Hückel's rule. You can treat the rings separately or together as you wish.arrow_forwardCompounds P and Q can undergo a Diels-Alder reaction to form two regioisomeric products R and S as shown in Figure 5. OMe P H C8H1202 R C8H1202 S Figure 5 Draw the chemical structures of regioisomeric compounds R and S. (ii) Using possible resonance contributors of P and Q predict which of the two regioisomers will be favoured in the reaction. (iii) Using curly arrows, draw the mechanism for the reaction of P and Q to form the dominant regioisomer you have predicted in your answer to part (ii) above.arrow_forwardCompound X, C,4H12Br2, is optically inactive. On treatment with strong base, X gives hydrocarbon Y, C14H10: Compound Y absorbs 2 equivalents of hydrogen when reduced over a palladium catalyst to give z (C14H14) and reacts with ozone to give one product, benzoic acid (C,Hg02). Draw the structure of compound Z. • Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. • Ignore alkene stereochemistry. • If more than one structure fits the description, draw them all. • Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. • Separate structures with + signs from the drop-down menu. ChemDoodlearrow_forward

- Cyclooctatetraene (8-annulene) is non-aromatic because all four pi bonds are not found in the same plane in its lowest energy conformation. If this compound is reduced by two electrons to generate the dianion, it exhibits aromatic characteristics. Draw the pi MO diagram for these compounds if they are planar, and fill in the electrons.
