in this video, we're going to discuss how air Metis ity will drive some molecules toe ionized on their own and form very strong die polls for the sake of remaining stable. So let's look into this so double bonds can be viewed as a loose pair of electrons that can undergo resonance movement and ionization if it helps to create an aromatic compound. Okay, one of the most famous examples of this type of molecule is called a foe of a lien. Okay, now a foe of a lien is a hydrocarbon that's composed of two fully conjugated rings, joined by what we call. There is a big word and XO cyclic double bond. It just means that it's a double bond. That's not really inside of any ring. You see this a lot when you talk about like carbon eels being on the outside of the ring. Something like this Exhaust cyclic would describe that how it's not inside the ring. So how do you count it? Do you count as two? Do you counted zero. That's what this topic is about. Okay, so with these eggs, a cyclic the whole bonds, Okay, we find that you can use them as a loose pair of electrons, meaning you could draw resident structure and you could split them into charges of positive and negative to help create air Metis ity. Okay, so here we have two questions about this molecule that I'd like to answer. One question is which of the following atoms notice there's, ah, eight atoms on this molecule. Which of them would you expect to most readily react with an electric file e positive? So it's already like a huge question like you might be like, I have no idea how to answer that. Second of all, does this molecule possessing that die poll. If so, indicate direction and draw. Okay, so this is definitely a little bit beyond our level right now because we haven't discussed it, but this turns out to be a pretty easy question. Okay, Like I said earlier, these double bonds, if their exhaust cyclic, they can be seen as a loose pair of electrons, meaning that I should ionized them in a way that's gonna make the most aromatic compounds as possible. So I'm gonna actually erase this example so I could get a little bit more space. I'm gonna draw another version of this molecule here. Okay? And what I want to do is draw both possibilities. And have you guys be the judge of which one's better. Okay, so in the first possibility, I'm going to split up the loan, The double bond, that it becomes a negative charge on one side here and a positive charge on this side here case, we're gonna ionized this double bond into a resident structure of just ions. Okay, now for the blue. What? I'm gonna do the opposite. I'm gonna put the negative church here and the positive church here. So what we're ending up with is a single bond. Okay, if I could reach that other double one would. But a single bond with Ion it's okay. So it doesn't really matter which direction I ion eyes could. I just Are both of these equally a stable Okay, notice that if this does happen, they're gonna have very different die polls. The one that I drew on the left would have a die pole pointing to the right because you always go towards the negative thing. And the one that I drew on the right would have a typo going to the left because the negatives on the other side Which one is right? Are any of them right? Have you figured out yet? So the answer is definitely If this is a and this is B, it's definitely molecule B. Can you help me understand? Why can you explain it? Can you explain it to your friend? Why would molecule B b so much more stable than molecule? A. Because we split the Exocet click double bond in tow ions to make both of the rings stable, we have ring one way, have ring to and notice that once I placed the negative charge on that six member of ring, I get six pie electrons, right? Once I place a positive charge on the second ring, I get two pi electrons. Are those numbers good? Hell, yeah. Those numbers are great. Remember that those are the Hucles rule number, so they predict that you're gonna have unusual stability in those rings. Now let's look at the other option. What if I put the plus charge on the 500 ring? I would get four pi electrons. And what about on the putting the negative charge on the three member grain. I would also get four pi electrons. Does this look stable to you guys? This is like a molecule from hell. This would have to anti aromatic rings. It would suck terrible stuff. Okay, so you're definitely gonna go with molecule B, and this is gonna help us to answer our questions. So now that we have this di pull drawn, um, the answer is yes, it does possess in a net dipole it would go to the left. Okay, So we could put in this case you could say to the left, but you could just draw it to your professor would see it. Okay, But then, the first question which of these atoms is most likely to react with an electric felt e? Plus, you can answer this question now that I drew that residence structure, it should be pretty clear which Adam likes to react with Elektra files the most. Yeah, So any amount of deduction would be that if there's an e plus around my negative charge would be the one attacking the E. So the answer is this Adam right here would be the one that's most likely to attack the electric file. because of the fact that it's the most nuclear Filic Adam on the entire molecule because of that resonant structure. Interesting. Right? So full of Elaine's air. Definitely. Like a weird kind of molecule. But this entire idea of an exhaust cyclic double bond is actually gonna come up quite a bit. And I want you guys to know that you could always split in exhaust cyclic double bond in tow ion into the direction that's gonna help you make your compound aromatic. Okay, So if you don't need electrons, put the negative charge on the top. If you do need electron to bring them down, okay, that's where you work with them. Awesome guys. So now we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna move on to the next molecule.

So guys, as you lean is a molecule that we discussed previously and it turns out that as a lean also has resonance structures similar to what we just learned with Volvo leans. Okay, so first of all, a Saleen just to recap is a polycyclic aromatic molecule with a distinctive blue color. I actually went ahead and included an example of a mushroom that is actually colored by a derivative of acetylene. So just goes to show how in nature acetylene is actually kind of like a natural dye that turns things as brilliant blue. Okay, And we have the same two questions here that we wanna answer. We want to answer which adam would most likely react with the electric file. And does this possess a net diet poll? Well, this one's a little bit harder to figure out because there's no exocet click double bond. Right? There's no exhaust cyclic double bond. I'm just gonna write that here. No exocet click double bond. So we can't just split any of these old bonds to ions. Okay, that would not be right. Okay. So what is our goal? Our goal with acetylene And this actually applies to many policy clicks is gonna be, I'm gonna put your goal to share a double bond between both rings. Okay, what that's going to allow us to do if we can share a double bond between both rings. That's gonna allow us to figure out an arrangement to have them both be aromatic by themselves. Okay, awesome. So let me just um, once again show you that we basically have two different options of how we can do this. I'm gonna have to write the smaller one at the bottom here, I'm running out of room a little bit, but there's really only one way to get um as you lean to share, there's really only two ways to get a Julian. Just shared double one between both. Let me write the original structure again. Just give me one second. You guys should all be writing this as well, since I'm gonna use that as an example. Okay, there's two different ways we could do this. Okay, either we could take this double bond and use that double bond to make to make a dull one in the middle. Now if we do that, that's gonna make, that's gonna break an octet right here. So if we make that bond, we have to break this bond and then we will do that. And what that would do is that would give us a product that would now have a double bond in between the rings. Okay, now the other option would be to go from the small ring to the adult to the middle. So then I would go like this. Okay, and I actually messed up with my double bonds. Oops! Okay, so this is this is an error guys, this is the kind of stuff. I'm human, I actually drew an eight member ring. So let's just erase this really quick. This is gonna get ugly a little bit, we're gonna do this. There we go. Okay, my apologies. So if you want you can pause the video so you can catch up but go ahead and draw seven member Graham. Not an eight. Okay, so back to the molecule at hand, we would go ahead and we could go from the small ring to make a double bond. But once again we have to break a bond so that we would break this one here. Okay, so let's kind of look at what you would get in terms of charges in terms of products from both of these. Okay, I'm actually gonna use the space here at the bottom to draw both of the products. Okay, And then we can see which one looks better. This will also give me a chance to redeem myself with that seven member ring. I thought I was doing pretty well, but I guess not. 1234567. Wait, No, I did it again. These are hard to draw man. Okay, so that's one and I'll cheat. I'm gonna take this and I'm gonna copy it that I don't have to mess up again. All right, cool, okay, so now we're gonna add in what the molecules would look like after these residents structures have formed. We'll notice that this double bond and this double bond are still the same. But now I have a double bond here and here meaning that. Now what charge should I have where the original Dolan left? I should have a positive here and I should put a negative here. Okay, so that's one of the arrangements. One of the possibilities. Another possibility is that these old ones are still the same. I still have the dull one in the middle. But now I have the positive here because my bond left and my negative here. Okay, so we're comparing we're comparing one resident structure versus another. And you guys have to tell me which one you think is more stable? Do you think the red version is more stable or do you think the blue version is more stable? Okay, hint. I think you should count up pi electrons and see what the automaticity of both of these molecules would be. Okay, so let's just say that we've got, you know, ring one and ring to. So ring one has how many pi electrons? Sorry, you couldn't see that. So, ring one has how many pi electrons? What has two? 46 from the double bond that's being shared. 246 positive. Doesn't count as anything. So, this one has six pi electrons. So good so far. And then molecule or ring B ring to my apologies. So I ring one. Ring to Ring two has how many pi electrons? Well, it appears to have 2. 4 6. This one also has six pi electrons. Right, so that's great. We really can't do better than that. But let's just verify that. Blue is wrong. So, for blue, how many pi electrons do I have with with ring one? Guys, I have eight pi electrons. Right? Because I've got three gold bonds and then I've got a negative charge at the top. Now for ring too, I have how many pi electrons? I have two. I have four. I have a positive charge. That counts as zero. I I end up with four pi electrons here. This sucks. Okay, so as you can see this is a structure that is terrible. This resident structure would never ever form. Whereas this resident structure is actually highly favored because of the fact that now I have two aromatic molecules. Okay, now, can you see where this is going now that I know where my charters are. Can I answer the two questions. Absolutely. So which adam would you expect to react with electrical E. Alright guys, So the answer is it has to be this atom. This is the only atom on the benzene ring. I'm sorry, not on the Benzene ring on the as you lean, that is gonna get pretty much a full negative charge. Okay. Does this molecule possess a die pool? If so indicated direction? Hell yeah, it does. So you could just draw the dipole straight from the positive to the negative. So would have some kind of slanted di pole like this. Okay, and that would show that there's a di pole going towards the negative. And actually just so you guys know one of the biggest reasons for as he leans vivid color is its strong dipole. These chemical properties and physical properties are closely intertwined and actually make it the kind of amazing molecule that it is. Okay, so guys, anyway, so now you know that exhaust cyclic double bonds, you can just split them into ions easily. And you know that for polycyclic systems like this, you have to make sure that when you're drawing residents that your goal is that you want to share a double bond between both rings to allow it to make them both aromatic. If you don't share a bond, you're never gonna make. Both rings are aromatic at the same time. Okay, so I hope that made sense. We're done with this topic. Let's go ahead and move on.
