Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 11.49PAE
The rate of photodecomposition of the herbicide piclo- ram in aqueous systems was determined by exposure to sunlight for a number of days. One such experiment produced the following results. (Data from R.T. Hedlun and C.R. Youngson, “The Rates of Photodecomposition of Picloram in Aqueous Systems," Fate of Organic Pesticides in tbe Aquatic Environment, Advances in Chemistry Series, #111, American Chemical Society (1972), 159—172.)
Exposure Time, t (days) | [Pidoram] |
(mol L_1)
Determine the order of reaction, the rate constant, and the half-life for the photodecomposition of picloram.

Molecules of the form AH2 can exist in two potential geometries: linear or bent. Construct molecular orbital diagrams for linear and bent CH2. Identify the relevant point group, include all of the appropriate symmetry labels and pictures, and fill in the electrons. Which geometry would you predict to be more stable, and why? (Please draw out the diagram and explain)
