The following are three T MOs of octa-1,3,5,7-tetraene. Repeat Problem 14.26 for these orbitals. E F The following are three MOs for the heptatrienyl cation. For each MO, (a) determine the number of nodal planes perpendicular to the bonding axes and rank them in order of increasing energy; (b) draw the p AO contributions on each C atom that would give rise to the MO; (c) identify each internuclear region as having either a bonding or an antibonding type of contribution; and (d) based on your answer to part (c), determine whether each MO is overall bonding, nonbonding, or antibonding.

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?

The photo dimerization of benzophenone to benzopinacol is initiated by what type of electronic transition that then rapidly decomposes to a diradical since putting in electrons in anti bonds breaks bonds!
