- Molecule C shown below contains a group called an allene. An allene has the structure of one central carbon being doubly bonded to two other carbons (C=C=C). Please draw out all of the p-orbitals that are involved in the pi-system for molecule C. b) The p-orbital on carbon 1 in molecule C are not in conjugation with the p-orbital on carbon 2 (ie the p- orbitals are not pointing in the same direction and there is no overlap). Why does this happen?arrow_forwardThe molecule shown on the right in the example in the right column is the amino acid histidine, and the five-membered ring is known as aromatic. An aromatic ring has 2, 6, 10, 14, etc., electrons placed in 2p orbitals around a ring. Indicate which of the following statements must therefore be true. 1. There are a total of six electrons in the pi system (defined as electrons in 2p orbitals), including the lone pair on the ring N that is not circled. 2. There are a total of six electrons in the pi system, including the lone pair on the ring N atom that is circled. 3. The lone pair on the ring N atom that is not circled resides in an sp2 orbital on an sp2 hybridized nitrogen atom. 4. Statements 2 and 3 are both truearrow_forwardIsn't the carbon where the charge changes sp3 hybridized? Wouldn't that make them all non-aromatic?
