6. Hexa-1,2-diene, trans-hexa-1,3-diene, and trans-hexa-1,4-diene are all compounds with more than one n bond. However, only one of the compounds is considered to be conjugated. (i) Identify which of the three compounds is conjugated and (ii) explain why the other two compounds are not conjugated. As part of your answer, be sure to (iii) include one or more appropriate, fully labeled diagrams. Note: A diagram alone is not a sufficient answer.

How do you account for the fact that the dipole moments of fluoromethane and chloromethane are almost identical even though fluorine is considerably more electronegative than chlorine?
Draw the structure for (E)-1,3,3-tribromo-2-methylpenta-1,4-diene. Be sure to clearly depict the geometric isometry by adding all bonds, including those to hydrogen, to sp2 stereocenters.
Estimate the stabilization gained as a result of conjugation when 1,4-pentadiene is converted to trans-1,3-pentadiene. Note that the answer is not as simple as comparing the heats of hydrogenation of 1,4-pentadiene and trans-1,3pentadiene. Although the double bonds are moved from unconjugated to conjugated, the degree of substitution of one of the double bonds is also changed, in this case, from a monosubstituted double bond to a trans disubstituted double bond. To answer this question, you must separate the effect that is the result of conjugation from that caused by a change in the degree of substitution.
Between the cis and trans configuration of 1-chloro-3-methylcyclohexane, which is the most stable stereoisomer and configuration? To prove your argument, use your models or a modelling software to model cis- and trans-1-chloro-3-methylcyclohexane (show all the hydrogens and ensure proper chair conformation) and use arrows to show where steric strain occurs. Include these photos in your answer.
For bromochloromethanol that has R configuration Interchange any 2substituent, what is the absolute r/s configuration?
Please answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. Long and detailed explanations are not needed. Keep it short, brief, and direct because I only need the answers as soon as possible. Calculate the total strain energy in each of the two chair conformations of cis-1-tert-butyl-4-chlorocyclohexane. By how much energy is the more stable conformation favored (this is the difference in energy between the two conformations)? NOTE: The strain energy for one H,Cl interaction is 1.0 kJ/mol while for H,-C(CH3)3 (t-butyl) is 11.4 kJ/mol.
How 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?
For each of the following reactions, check in the box which of these A or B components represents "highest occupied molecular orbital" (HOMO) and "lowest unoccupied molecular orbital" (LUMO). Once assigned, determine their type of orbitals.
Explain the process of Calculating Degrees of Unsaturation ?
Stereoisomers share the same connectivity and differ only in the way their atoms are arranged in space. Draw the structure of a compound that is a stereoisomer of trans-1,2-dibromocyclobutane.(Note that the question asks for a different stereoisomer of the named compound and not the named compound itself.)Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists.In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one.
Please help show and explain: All confirmations of 2-chloro-3methylbutane looking down the C1-C2 bond and 1 staggered confimation looking down the C2-C3 bond (Label all and rank all from least to most stable)
The unsaturation number or degree of unsaturation (U) can be used to determine the number of rings and multiple bonds in a compound from its molecular formula. Given a structure, you can determine the number of hydrogens without having to count them explicitly. Consider three compounds and their degree of unsaturation. (a) A compound A has the molecular formula C7H13ClN2OC7⁢H13⁢ClN2O. How many rings and/or π bonds does it contain?
