Chapter 15.SE, Problem 45AP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The relative energy levels of the seven π molecular orbitals of cycloheptatrienyl system are to be show. How these seven orbitals are filled in the cation, radical and anion is to be indicated. Further the aromatic character of the cycloheptatrienyl cation is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The number of molecular orbitals formed is equal to the number of orbitals overlapping. The available orbitals are filled by the electrons in the increasing order of their energies. Each moleclar orbital can accommodate two electrons with opposite spin. Electrons occupy the orbitals individually first before they get paired in the same orbital.

The cycloheptatrienyl cation has six electrons to be filled in molecular orbitals.

The cycloheptatrienyl radical has seven electrons to be filled in molecular orbitals.

The cycloheptatrienyl anion has eight electrons to be filled in molecular orbitals.

To show:

The relative energy levels of the seven π molecular orbitals of cycloheptatrienyl system.

To indicate:

How these seven orbitals are filled in the cation, radical and anion.

To explain:

The aromatic character of the cycloheptatrienyl cation.

A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential Ered +1.26 V. An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode of a galvanic cell that must provide at least 1.10 V of electrical power. The cell will operate under standard conditions. Note for advanced students: assume the engineer requires this half-reaction to happen at the anode of the cell. Is there a minimum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have? If so, check the "yes" box and calculate the minimum. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. If there is no lower limit, check the "no" box.. Is there a maximum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have? If so, check the "yes" box and calculate the maximum. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. If there is no upper limit, check the "no" box. yes, there is a minimum. 1 red Πν no minimum Oyes, there is a maximum. 0 E red Dv By using the information in the ALEKS…
