1. A. Draw a molecular orbital diagram for (2E,4E)hexa-2,4-diene and ethene below. Make sure to label orbitals, HOMO, LUMO, nodes, antibonding/bonding, and fill correctly with electrons. 1. B. Use the orbitals drawn in the previous problem to determine if a cycloadditon would occur between the two compounds mentioned and if so, would it be suprafacial or antarafacial. Be sure to specify which orbitals you are using and use those orbitals to demonstrate your answer.

For the part circled in white, I don't understand when simplifying this why we don't divide the coefficient in front of octane by 2. I thought it would be 1/2 Since we divided the other ones by 2.
In this chapter, we did not discuss the interaction that is primarily responsible for the attraction that exists between ananion like CH3O- and a nonpolar molecule like Br2.(a) What name would be ascribed to the strongest interaction that exists between those two species?(b) For which pair of species would you expect that type of attractive interaction to be stronger: between CH3O- and Br2or between CH3O- and I2? Why?
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?
Compound C show below is the starting material used in a chemical reaction. a) Name the two functional groups present in compound C. b) Assign the stereocentre present in compound C, using Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules, clearly indicating priorities. c) Label the hybridisation of all non-hydrogen atoms found in compound C. d) With the use of an appropriate diagram described the bonding found in the C=O bond. Include details of the orbitals involved, the types of bonds formed and the location of any lone pairs of electrons.
Label the following molecular orbitals as σ or π orbitals and briefly explain. Be sure to indicate the subscript (g or u) and superscript (with or without *), but you do not need to specify the number before σ or π.
Draw one all-bonding MO, thena pair of degenerate MOs, and then a final pair of degenerate MOs. Draw the energydiagram, fill in the electrons, and confirm the electronic configurations of the cyclopentadienyl cation and anion
these molecules are mirror images ?
Compare the bonding in formic acid (HCOOH) with that in its conjugate base formate ion (HCOO). Each molecule has a central carbon atom bonded to the two oxygen atoms and to a hydrogen atom. Draw Lewis diagrams, determine the steric numbers and hybridization of the central carbon atom, and give the molecular geometries. How do the orbitals differ in formic acid and the formate molecular ion? The bond lengths of the CO bonds in HCOOH are 1.23 (for the bond to the lone oxygen) and 1.36 (for the bond to the oxygen with a hydrogen atom attached). In what range of lengths do you predict the CO bond length in the formate ion to lie?
The 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 true
Isn't the carbon where the charge changes sp3 hybridized? Wouldn't that make them all non-aromatic? Also, do we need to specify E and Z for the double bonds. Thanks.
