Question
1. Rank the following dienes in order of increasing stability:
a. trans-1,3-pentadiene,
b. cis-1,3-pentadiene,
c. 1,4-pentadiene,
d. 1,2-pentadiene.
2) Show how the carbon p orbitals overlap to form the lowest energy л molecular orbital of 1,3-
butadiene.
3) Draw the most stable conformation of (2Z, 4E)-2,4-hexadiene.
4) How many nodes, other than the node coincident with the molecular plane, are found in the highest
energy л MO of 1,3-butadiene?
5) Give a representation of the highest occupied л MO of 1,3-butadiene in its ground state
6) Give a representation of the lowest occupied л MO of 1,3-butadiene in its ground state.
