Concept explainers
(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.
(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.
(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
(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.
(e)
Interpretation: The reason for the benzene and the other
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.

- SH 0arrow_forward2. Please consider the two all 'cis' isomers of trimethylcyclohexane drawn below. Draw the two chair conformers of each stereoisomer below (1 and 2) and calculate their torsional interaction energies in order to identify the lower energy conformer for each stereoisomer. Based on your calculations, state which of the two stereoisomers 1 and 2 is less stable and which is more stable. [1,3-diaxial CH3 CH3 = 3.7kcal/mol; 1,3-diaxial CH3 H = 0.88kcal/mol; cis-1,2 (axial:equatorial) CH3 CH3 = 0.88kcal/mol; trans-1,2-diequatorial CH3 CH3 = 0.88kcal/mol) all-cis-1,2,3- 1 all-cis-1,2,4- 2arrow_forwardNonearrow_forward
