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! The diradical then starts abstracting hydrogens from solution as pictured in the text? σ = electrons in sigma bonds n = electrons in non-bonding orbitals π electrons in pi bonds. anti bonds Hint: This process is very important because although the molecule responsible for human vision (retinal) is not a very long conjugated pi system, this transition allows retinal to absorb visible light. a. n to σ* b. σ to σ* C. π το π d. n to П e. σ to П* f. π to σ'

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?

On one-electron oxidation of a five valence electron AH₂ compound (C₂, point group) to a closed shell (no unpaired electrons) four valence electron C₂, cationic species, what is the symmetry of the highest energy occupied molecular orbital, and what happens to the energy of this orbital when the four valence electron AH2 C2y cation changes to a Doch geometry? O 2a₁ and stabilised (decreases in energy) O 2a₁ and destabilised (increases in energy) O 1b2 and stabilised (decreases in energy) O b₁ and no change in energy
