(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Three resonance structures of naphthalene have to be drawn and the reason for why C1C2 bond has a shorter bond length than C2C3 bond has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Resonance is an electron displacement effect for stabilizing a molecule through delocalization of bonding electrons in the pi orbital.

Delocalized electrons stabilize a compound. The extra stability gains from having delocalized electrons are called resonance stabilization or resonance energy.

Bond length: Bond distance or bond length is the average distance between nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule. It is a transferable property of a bond between atoms of fixed types

 Double bonds: One sigma bond and one pi bond are together known as a double bond.

Bond length is inversely proportional to the bond order.

A higher bond order results in a shorter bond for a given pair of atoms.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Five resonance structures of phenanthrene have to be drawn and the bond that has a shorter bond length has to be predicted using resonance structures of phenanthrene.

Concept Introduction:

Resonance is an electron displacement effect for stabilizing a molecule through delocalization of bonding electrons in the pi orbital.

Delocalized electrons stabilize a compound. The extra stability gains from having delocalized electrons are called resonance stabilization or resonance energy.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Product having molecular formula C14H10Br2 obtained when Br2 is treated with phenanthrene has to be drawn

Concept Introduction:

Resonance is an electron displacement effect for stabilizing a molecule through delocalization of bonding electrons in the pi orbital.

Delocalized electrons stabilize a compound. The extra stability gains from having delocalized electrons are called resonance stabilization or resonance energy.

Bond length: Bond distance or bond length is the average distance between nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule.

Bromination: In bromination reaction, bromine atom is introduced to a compound.
