Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The hybridization of carbon atoms of triple bonds is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: Hybridization is the combination of two or more atomic orbitals to form the same number of hybrid orbitals, each having the same shape and energy. Number of groups around the atom is equal to number of the number of orbitals hybridized to give hybrid atomic orbitals.
(b)
Interpretation: The type of orbital in which the pi electrons of the triple bond resides is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: Hybridization is the combination of two or more atomic orbitals to form the same number of hybrid orbitals, each having the same shape and energy. Number of groups around the atom is equal to number of the number of orbitals hybridized to give hybrid atomic orbitals.
(c)
Interpretation: The number of pi electrons that are delocalized in compound A is to be determined.
Concept introduction: A molecule must be cyclic, planar, completely conjugated and should follow

- 1. (a) Describe aromaticity, Kekule structure and resonance structure for benzene. (b) Why is benzene more stable than aliphatic alkenes?arrow_forwardHow many rings and π(pi) bonds are contained in compound A and draw one possible structure for this compound A. Compound A has molecular formula C6H10 and is hydrogenated to a compound having molecular formula C6H12arrow_forwardAcridine is a heterocyclic aromatic compound obtained from coal tar that is used in the synthesis of dyes. The molecular formula of acridine is C13H9N, and its ring system is analogous to that of anthracene except that one CH group has been replaced by N. The two most stable resonance structures of acridine are equivalent to each other, and both contain a pyridine-like structural unit. Write a structural formula for acridine.arrow_forward
