Interpretation:
The adaptation of Frost's circleto generate the orbital energy level diagram is to beshown for cycloheptantrienyl cation.
Concept introduction:
The number of
These
Frost's circle is used to set up the Huckel's molecular orbitals of planar, monocyclic, and completely conjugated polyenes.
The energy levels can be superimposed on a polygon with appropriate sides with the vertex pointing down.
By inscribing a polygon having appropriate number of sides within a circle so that one of its corners lies at the bottom, each of the polygon's corners defines a
A horizontal dotted line drawn through the center of the circle separates the bonding and anti-bonding molecular orbitals.
The bonding orbitals are shown by the vertices below the halfway mark of the circle.The antibonding orbitals are shown by the vertices above the halfway mark. If the vertices lie exactly in the middle, then they represent non-bonding orbitals.

- Which of the following does not contribute to the stability of benzene?a. overlapping pi electrons above and below the ring's plane b. Huckel rule c. conjugation d. nonearrow_forwardHow would you develop a molecular orbital for a structure like buta-2-diene that has an anion on the first carbon and a cation on the fourth carbon? Also, how would MO look like for 2-dimethyl-1,3-pentadiene?arrow_forwardThe addition of water to aldehydes and ketones occurs rapidly, although it is not thermodynamically favored. What would be the product for the reaction above? Hint: Think of the self-ionization of water and the polarity of the carbonyl group.arrow_forward
- Circle the carboxylic acid with the predicted highest boiling point and put a square around the molecule with the lowest predict boiling point and explain your decisions below.arrow_forwardYou all know the carbonyl structure. It is carbon atom double bonded to the oxygen atom.a. Draw the dipol moment of the carbonyl structure.b. Here are two different carbonyl bearing molecules. With the knowledge you learned so far explain which one is more stable and why?arrow_forwardInstructions: Answer the question in detail and explain why and its concept behind. Handwritten answer.arrow_forward
- Draw a resonance structure, complete with all formal charges and lone (unshared) electron pairs, that shows the resonance interaction of the cyano with the ortho position in benzonitrile. CEN benzonitrile • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • Include all valence lone pairs in your answer. • In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one.arrow_forwardShow, using a drawing, how the carbon in methanal is hybridized. What is the resulting geometry of the molecule? Show and label all orbitals involved in the bonds holding this molecule together.arrow_forwardFor this section we are going to use a different modeling website: chemagic.org. Use chemagic to analyze the following two substituted cyclohexanes: Molecule B First draw the molecule, then 'Load Model' to view the molecule in 3D with space-filling mode on. Rotate the molecule so that you are viewing the "side" of the cyclohexane, and then take a screenshot of your molecule. You will be submitting these screenshots to Canvas. Molecule A Which isomer is more stable? How do you know this? What comments can you make about axial versus equatorial stability?arrow_forward
- (Please show all of your work so I can understand how to solve this problem, also you will need to use a special periodic table which is attached in the images) For this problem, draw all hydrogen atoms explicitly. Draw the structure of the following: a) 2,4-diboguso-1-propylbenzene (boguso is Bg on the special periodic table) b) cis-1,2-dibogusoethene (boguso is Bg on the special periodic table)arrow_forwardLet us construct the molecular orbital diagram of ethylene (in pieces). a. First, construct the MO diagram of linear carbene (CH2). Draw pictures of all 6 orbitals b. Now bend the carbene to a bond angle of about 120°. How does this change your MO diagram? Draw pictures of all 6 orbitals. c. Now bring two of these carbene molecules together to make ethylene. Draw pictures of all 12 orbitals.arrow_forwardb) Which of these two would you expect to have the higher boiling point? Why? hexanal c) Write "most" under Write "least" under benzonitrile pentanoic acid compound which will react with Cly/FeCl, most easily. compound which will be least reactive toward Cly/FeCl. ethylbenzene chlorobenzenearrow_forward
