Chapter 3, Problem 3.11P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The handedness of helical coil of telephone cord or spiral binding has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Stereoisomers and chiral:

Isomers differing only in their spatial arrangement of atoms are called as stereoisomers.

The geometric property of a molecule that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image is known as chirality.  Chiral carbon is the one which is attached with four different groups or atoms.

Explanation of Solution

Handedness of the helical coil of telephone cord or spiral binding:

When you look at the helical coil, the handedness of a helical coil is the same in both views.

I.e. if the given coil is left handed twist, then the same spiral has the same left handed twist in the other view also.

can you answer this again in a more understanding and easy to interpret way. Like an answer key.
Select all that is true for cycloheptatriene and the ions it can form. The 6 pi electrons in cycloheptatriene anion can be delocalized over the ring, which decreases the electronic energy of the molecule. Delocalization of the pi electrons in cycloheptatriene anion increases the electronic energy of the molecule. The cycloheptatriene contains 6 pi electrons, which makes it an aromatic compound. The pi electrons in cycloheptatriene cannot be delocalized over the ring. The pi electrons in cycloheptatriene cation can be delocalized over the ring.
