Question
2. Which cumulene structure is physically impossible? - a. Structure with two double bonds connected, one hydrogen pointing upward, and the other pointing downward. - b. Structure with two double bonds connected, both hydrogens pointing downward. - c. Structure with three double bonds, one hydrogen and one substituent pointing into the plane and one hydrogen and substituent coming out. - d. Structure with three double bonds, both hydrogens pointed inward (opposite directions). - e. Not a-d. The problem involves evaluating different structures to determine which cumulene configuration cannot exist due to geometric constraints or stereochemistry issues.
