Chapter 7.7, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name and stability (most stable to least stable) of given alkenes has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Delocalized electrons:  Electrons that are not localized in one particular atom or bond and shared by three or more atoms are called delocalized electrons.

Compounds with two double bonds are known as dienes.

Stability of diene: The number of alkyl group increases with increasing the stability of the dienes.

Conjugated diene: Dienes are hydrocarbons with two double bonds; where the conjugated double bonds are separated by one single bond.

Resonance contributor:  In some chemical compounds like benzene pi electrons are delocalized in it and difficult to locate it.  Resonance contributor gives an idea of whereabouts of pi electrons.  The exact structure with localized electrons are called resonance contributor.

Students have asked these similar questions
Name the following dienes and rank them from most stable to least stable. (Hint: Alkyl groups stabilize dienes in the same way they stabilize alkenes
Show that the [4 + 4] cycloaddition of two butadiene molecules to give cycloocta1,5-diene is thermally forbidden but photochemically allowed
1)Chemistry students are taking an experimental course in organic chemistry at a public university. During an experiment involving conjugated dienes, some doubts arose when discussing the results obtained so far: (a) A student obtained two products from the reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene with Br2. His lab partner was surprised to get only one product from the reaction of 1,3 - cyclohexadiene with HBr. Explain these distinct results.   (b) One student, seeing the discussion of colleagues, commented that she obtained two distinct products when reacting 1,3,5-hexatriene with HBr, with different yields just by changing the reaction temperature. Explain the results she obtained using reaction mechanism and based on kinetic and thermodynamic control involving conjugated dienes.
