Concept explainers
Open the molecular model file for benzyne and examine the following molecular orbitals: the LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital), the HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital), the HOMO-1 (next lower energy orbital), the HOMO-2 (next lower in energy), and the HOMO-3 (next lower in energy).
(a) Which orbital best represents the region where electrons of the additional πp bond in benzyne would be found?
(b) Which orbital would accept electrons from a Lewis base on nucleophilic addition to benzyne?
(c) Which orbitals are associated with the six

The and n orbitals represent the HOMOS and the a* represents the LUMO orbital. л" E I Nonpolar solvent I* Л Polar solvent To The left side HOMOS and LUMO represent the molecule in a nonpolar solvent, and the right side represent the HOMOS and LUMD in a polar solvent, such as water. You can see the change in the energy of the HOMOS and LUMO when the polar solvent interacts with the electrons in the ann orbitals. Study the figure and choose which of the following statements are true or false about why there is a blue shift in the electronic transition. Select all that are True. the energy gap between the n MO and the n* MO is larger in the polar solvent than in the nonpolar solvent, so the photon needed to excite the electron would require more energy when the molecule is in the polar solvent the energy gap…arrow_forward
