(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The delocalization of the positive charge, unpaired electron and negative charge of the benzyl cation, radical and anion using their resonance forms is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Most of the organic structures cannot be represented using a single Lewis structure. Therefore, there exists more than one Lewis structure for representing a molecule or ion. These structures are known as resonance structures. These are the hypothetical structures and do not specify the exact structure. These resonance structures combine to give a resonance hybrid that is lower in energy and is the most stable structure.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The information regarding the formation of benzyl bromide by the reaction between toluene and bromine in the presence of light is given. The mechanism for the given reaction is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A free radical reaction occurs in the presence of UV light. It involves three steps initiation, propagation and termination reaction. The rate of reaction depends upon the reactivity of the type of halogen involved in the reaction.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Two different types of reactions are given. The reaction that will have a faster rate and give better yield using the drawing of the transition state is to be stated.
