The orbital arrangement of the central carbon atom of an allene holds the two ends of the molecule at right angles to each other.(i) Draw the appropriate orbital diagram of the following allene derivative. Explain why the two ends of the molecule are perpendicular.
(ii) Write the structures of the two enantiomers of hexa-2,3-diene.
Draw the π molecular orbitals of octa-1,3,5,7-tetraene.
Write the appropriate electronic configuration for the following compound.
octa-1,3,5,7-tetraene (ground state of pi electrons system)
Show an illustration of the one bonding MO and two nonbonding MO of cyclobutadiene. Ignore the fact that cyclobutadiene is an unstable molecule.
Draw the molecular orbitals for cycloheptatrienyl ions and their energy diagram. Draw all-bonding MOs and all the pairs of degenerate MOs. Label each orbital as bonding, nonbonding, or antibonding.
