(a)
Interpretation:
The delocalization of the positive charge, unpaired electron and negative charge of the benzyl cation, radical and anion using their resonance forms is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Most of the organic structures cannot be represented using a single Lewis structure. Therefore, there exists more than one Lewis structure for representing a molecule or ion. These structures are known as resonance structures. These are the hypothetical structures and do not specify the exact structure. These resonance structures combine to give a resonance hybrid that is lower in energy and is the most stable structure.
(b)
Interpretation:
The information regarding the formation of benzyl bromide by the reaction between toluene and bromine in the presence of light is given. The mechanism for the given reaction is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
A free radical reaction occurs in the presence of UV light. It involves three steps initiation, propagation and termination reaction. The
(c)
Interpretation:
Two different types of reactions are given. The reaction that will have a faster rate and give better yield using the drawing of the transition state is to be stated.

Draw and label all possible isomers for [M(py)3(DMSO)2(CI)] (py = pyridine, DMSO dimethylsulfoxide).arrow_forwardThe emission data in cps displayed in Table 1 is reported to two decimal places by the chemist. However, the instrument output is shown in Table 2. Table 2. Iron emission from ICP-AES Sample Blank Standard Emission, cps 579.503252562 9308340.13122 Unknown Sample 343.232365741 Did the chemist make the correct choice in how they choose to display the data up in Table 1? Choose the best explanation from the choices below. No. Since the instrument calculates 12 digits for all values, they should all be kept and not truncated. Doing so would eliminate significant information. No. Since the instrument calculates 5 decimal places for the standard, all of the values should be limited to the same number. The other decimal places are not significant for the blank and unknown sample. Yes. The way Saman made the standards was limited by the 250-mL volumetric flask. This glassware can report values to 2 decimal places, and this establishes our number of significant figures. Yes. Instrumental data…arrow_forward
