Chapter 1, Problem 1.79P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: Hybridization of each carbon atom in benzene is to be stated.

Concept introduction: When two or more orbitals of equal energy intermix to form new orbitals of similar energy then it is known as hybridization and the orbitals that are formed as a result of intermixing are called hybrid orbitals.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: Geometry around each carbon atom and the overall geometry of the benzene ring are to be stated.

Concept introduction: Geometry of an atom is determined by the sigma bonds, lone pairs present and the hybridization of that particular atom.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation: The diagram showing the orbitals used to join the carbon atoms in the ring is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: When two or more orbitals of equal energy intermix to form new orbitals of similar energy then it is known as hybridization and the orbitals that are formed as a result of intermixing are called hybrid orbitals. They can be σ or π hybridized.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation: Second resonance structure of benzene is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: When two or more orbitals of equal energy intermix to form new orbitals of similar energy then it is known as hybridization and the orbitals that are formed as a result of intermixing are called hybrid orbitals. The delocalization of electrons results in the formation resonance structure.

Interpretation Introduction

(e)

Interpretation: The reason for the benzene and the other aromatic compounds are stable is to be stated.

Concept introduction: When two or more orbitals of equal energy intermix to form new orbitals of similar energy then it is known as hybridization and the orbitals that are formed as a result of intermixing are called hybrid orbitals. The delocalization of electrons results in the formation resonance structure.
