Concept explainers

Formal Charges
Formal charges have an important role in organic chemistry since this concept helps us to know whether an atom in a molecule is neutral/bears a positive or negative charge. Even if some molecules are neutral, the atoms within that molecule need not be ne…
Polarity Of Water
In simple chemical terms, polarity refers to the separation of charges in a chemical species leading into formation of two polar ends which are positively charged end and negatively charged end. Polarity in any molecule occurs due to the differences in t…
Valence Bond Theory Vbt
Valence bond theory (VBT) in simple terms explains how individual atomic orbitals with an unpaired electron each, come close to each other and overlap to form a molecular orbital giving a covalent bond. It gives a quantum mechanical approach to the forma…

Textbook Question
Book Icon
Chapter 2, Problem 9EQ

There are no important resonance structures for the isopropyl cation

C H 3 − C + H − C H 3

because there are no _ _ _ _   _ _ _ _ in the structure. There are no important resonance structures for dimethyl ether

C H 3 – O ¨ ¨ − C H 3

because, although there are pushable electrons on the oxygen atom, there is no _ _ _ _ . There are no important resonance structures for the 5-pentenyl cation

H 2 C = C H − C H 2 − C H 2 − C + H 2

because the pushable electrons and the receptor are separated by two methylene groups. Thus, the electrons have no way to get to the receptor.

Problem 3-42 Consider 2-methylbutane (isopentane). Sighting along the C2-C3 bond: (a) Draw a Newman projection of the most stable conformation. (b) Draw a Newman projection of the least stable conformation. Problem 3-44 Construct a qualitative potential-energy diagram for rotation about the C-C bond of 1,2-dibromoethane. Which conformation would you expect to be most stable? Label the anti and gauche conformations of 1,2- dibromoethane. Problem 3-45 Which conformation of 1,2-dibromoethane (Problem 3-44) would you expect to have the largest dipole moment? The observed dipole moment of 1,2-dibromoethane is µ = 1.0 D. What does this tell you about the actual conformation of the molecule?
