Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The more stable carbocation in the given pair is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The carbocation becomes stable when atoms or groups attached to it stabilize the positive charge on it.
The induced polarization of sigma bond is called inductive effect.
The electron donating atom or group has a positive inductive effect that stabilizes the positive charge on carbon.
The electron withdrawing atom or group has negative inductive effect that destabilizes the positive charge on carbon.
The alkyl groups have electron donating inductive effect and stabilize carbocation (carbon with positive charge).
The alkyl groups also show delocalization of electrons in sigma bonds through hyperconjugation and stabilized carbocation.
Hyperconjugation is the delocalization of electrons in

- Your chemistry professor draws a number of molecules on the board: (1) CH4 ; (2) H2C=CH2 ; (3) H2C=C=CH2 ; and (4) H2C=C=C=CH2. You muse about all the molecules that chemists draw on a two-dimensional board and wonder which ones are actually planar, existing basically as they appear on the board, and which ones are not plane but rather three-dimensional. Answer ALL of the following questions. What are the specific orbital overlaps (i.e., sp3-sp3) that are in each of the molecules? What are the bond angles for each central atom in each molecule? Which molecules are planar and which are non-planar?arrow_forward2. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that contains iron and facilitates the transport of oxygen. The iron sits in the center of a heme ring in the form of Fe²+. The structure of a heme ring is here. H-C H-C H I H-C H H I C-N H-N-C C I C H C-N-H N-C C-H 1 C-H C-H H H a) The above structure is incomplete. Add electron pairs, non-zero formal charges, and/or additional bonds where needed to fulfill the octet rule to complete the structure. b) When Fe²+ is added to the structure in part a), the H atoms connected to the N are removed, see figure on the right. If you think of the heme ring as 4 N atoms, determine the molecular geometry of the new structure (you can draw it like [FeN4]2+). Imagine each N connects to Fe with a single bond.

You muse about all the molecules that chemists draw on a two-dimensional board and wonder which ones are actually planar, existing basically as they appear on the board, and which ones are not plane but rather three-dimensional. Answer the following questions. What is the geometry and hybridization of the carbon in CH4? What is the geometry and hybridization of each central carbon atom in the remaining molecules? Draw each molecule showing the bonds and identify each bond in all the molecules as s or p. What are the specific orbital overlaps (i.e., sp3-sp3) that are in each of the molecules? What are the bond angles for each central atom in each molecule? Which molecules are planar and which are non-planar?arrow_forward
