Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: An orbital diagram of allene and the two perpendicular ends in orbital diagram.
Interpretation: An orbital diagram of allene is to be drawn and the two perpendicular ends in orbital diagram are to be shown.
Concept introduction: Allenes are the compounds in which two adjacent double bonds share the common carbon atoms. These are also known as cumulative dienes. Cumulative dienes are different from conjugated dienes because conjugated dienes comprise double bonds separated by one single bond.
(b)
To determine: The two enantionmers of
Interpretation: The two enantionmers of
Concept introduction: Allenes are the compounds in which two adjacent double bonds share common carbon atoms. These are also known as cumulative dienes. Cumulative dienes are different from conjugated dienes because conjugated dienes comprise double bonds separated by one single bond.
