Concept explainers
Interpretation:
It is to be explained in what kind of orbital the lone pair of each nitrogen atom
Concept introduction:
A lone pair is an electron pair that is not a part of actual bonding; it is also called a non-bonding electron pair. The orbital that holds the lone pair can be determined by assigning the hybridization to the respective atom having a lone pair. The hybridization for the atom can be assigned based on its number of attachments, i.e., steric number. The hybridization defines the orbitals used by the atom in its attachments. While assigning the electron pair to the orbitals, first assign the

- 4. Explain why the following molecule is considered aromatic. (it may help to draw a resonance form) O:arrow_forwardDETERMINE EACH ITEM IF TRUE OR FALSE 1. The circle in a benzene ring represents the electrons that are moving in the entire molecule 2. A Carbon-Halogen bond is stronger as you go up the periodic table 3. C10H18 is gaseous in nature 4. Ethers can be explosive when oxygenated 5. In order for a compound to be categorized as aromatic, it must have a p orbital on every atom.arrow_forwardHow come the structure labeled as 1 has 8 pi electrons? If the double bond has 2 pi electrons, and you count the lone pairs, wouldn't it have 6 pi electrons? Why does the structure labeled as 2 has aromaticity? If the pi bond has 2 pi electrons and then you coun the lone pairs, wouldn't it only have 5 pi electrons?arrow_forward
