Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The resonance forms of pentadienyl radical to show the three carbon atoms that bear unpaired electron are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The delocalization of lone pair or free electrons from one place to another is known as resonance. The stability of compound depends upon the number of resonating structures. More the resonating structures of compound more will its stability.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of molecular orbitals in the molecular orbital picture of pentadienyl radical is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Molecular orbital diagrams are used for determining the bonding in molecules using linear combination of atomic orbitals. The number of molecular orbitals formed is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that combine with each other.
(c)
Interpretation:
The number of nodes presents in lower-energy molecular orbital and highest-energy molecular orbital of pentadienyl radical is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Molecular orbital diagrams are used for determining the bonding in molecules using linear combination of atomic orbitals. The number of molecular orbitals formed is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that combine with each other.
