Concept explainers
Open the molecular model file for benzyne and examine the following molecular orbitals: the LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital), the HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital), the HOMO-1 (next lower energy orbital), the HOMO-2 (next lower in energy), and the HOMO-3 (next lower in energy).
(a) Which orbital best represents the region where electrons of the additional πp bond in benzyne would be found?
(b) Which orbital would accept electrons from a Lewis base on nucleophilic addition to benzyne?
(c) Which orbitals are associated with the six

- The ability of atoms to associate with each other depends ona) the electronic structure and its spatial orientation.b) the electron affinity.c) The other two answers are correct.arrow_forwardWhat is the final volume after you reach the final temperature? I put 1.73 but the answer is wrong not sure why The initial volume of gas is 1.60 LL , the initial temperature of the gas is 23.0 °C°C , and the system is in equilibrium with an external pressure of 1.2 bar (given by the sum of a 1 bar atmospheric pressure and a 0.2 bar pressure due to a brick that rests on top of the piston). Then, as you did in Exercise 1, you heat the gas slowly until the temperature reaches 48.2 °Carrow_forwardQ4: Identify the type of Carbon ( methyl, primary, secondary, etc. ) indicated by this arrow.arrow_forward
