Concept introduction:
Molecular orbitals are constructed from the AOs of different atoms. When two atoms are brought close enough together (i.e., about a bond length apart), the AOs of one atom significantly overlap the AOs of the other atom, enabling them to undergo constructive and destructive interference, or mix, to produce new orbitals. The central
(LCAOs).

- How does the valence bond description of a carboncarbon double bond account for cis trans isomers?arrow_forwardIn Chapter 6, we study a group of organic cations called carbocations. Following is the structure of one such carbocation, the tert-butyl cation. (a) How many electrons are in the valence shell of the carbon bearing the positive charge? (b) Using VSEPR, predict the bond angles about this carbon. (c) Given the bond angle you predicted in (b), what hybridization do you predict for this carbon?arrow_forward4. Amphotericin B is a polyene antifungal agent. In the molecule, 6 C-C single bonds and 7 C=C double bonds alternate along a chain of 14 C atoms; see a schematic of the structure of the molecule below. OH OH HO O OH OH OH OH O,,.. OH HO" ОН OH NH₂ Each C atom contributes 1 p electron to the 77 orbitals in the conjugated system giving 14 electrons that move along the molecule. Assuming an average inter-nuclear distance of 140 pm, and that, in the ground state of amphotericin B, each quantum state is occupied by two electrons, use the particle-in-a-box model to calculate (a) the energy separation between the highest occupied state and the lowest unoccupied state, and (b) the frequency of the radiation required to produce a transition between the two states.arrow_forward
- . The pyridine molecule (C3H;N) is obtained by replacing one C-H group in benzene with a nitrogen atom. Because nitrogen is more electronegative than the C-H group, orbitals with electron density on nitrogen are lower in energy. How do you expect the MOs and energy levels of pyridine to differ from those of benzene?arrow_forward3.For problems 3-5, fill in the information for each of the substances below. Possible answers for "shape" are linear, bent, trigonal planar, trigonal pyramid, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramid, see-saw, T shaped, octahedron, square, square pyramid.
