Which of these is the correct rotation for [a] of 0°? ### Transcription for Educational WebsiteThe image presents two chemical reactions illustrating the substitution of a bromine atom in an organic compound with a methoxy group (OCH₃).#### Reaction a:- **Starting Material:** - A chiral alkyl bromide with the bromine (Br) atom connected to a carbon, shown with a wedge to indicate its spatial orientation.- **Reagent:** - Methanol (CH₃OH).- **Products:** - Two isomers, where the bromine is substituted by an OCH₃ group. - Both the methoxy groups (OCH₃) are shown with different spatial orientations: - One with a wedge indicating that the OCH₃ group is in the same orientation as the original Br. - The other with a dashed line showing inversion of configuration compared to the original Br.#### Reaction b:- **Starting Material:** - Similar chiral alkyl bromide starting material as in Reaction a.- **Reagent:** - Methoxide ion (CH₃O⁻).- **Products:** - Similar to Reaction a, it produces two isomers with the methoxy group substituting the bromine, depicted with different configurations of the OCH₃ group: - One with a wedge (same spatial orientation as original Br). - Another with a dashed line (inverted orientation compared to original Br).### Explanation - Both reactions demonstrate nucleophilic substitution where the bromine is replaced by an -OCH₃ group.- The use of different reagents (CH₃OH vs. CH₃O⁻) can lead to changes in reaction conditions and possibly reaction mechanisms (like SN1 or SN2).- The difference in the spatial orientation of the product isomers indicates stereochemistry considerations in such reactions.

SN1 reaction leads to racemic product while SN2 reaction gives inverted product

Molecule C shown below contains a group called an allene. An allene has the structure of one central carbon being doubly bonded to two other carbons (C=C=C). Please draw out all of the p-orbitals that are involved in the pi-system for molecule C. b) The p-orbital on carbon 1 in molecule C are not in conjugation with the p-orbital on carbon 2 (ie the p- orbitals are not pointing in the same direction and there is no overlap). Why does this happen?
