(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: MOs for the given conjugated systems has to be drawn and the HOMO has to be predicted as symmetric or antisymmetric.

Concept introduction:

Conjugated system: A system of connected p-orbitals with delocalized electrons with alternating single and multiple bonds and the compound may be cyclic, linear or mixed.

Molecular orbital theory suggests that atomic orbitals of different atoms combines to create molecular orbitals.

Molecular orbitals can be constructed from linear combination of atomic orbitals.

Bonding orbotals are formed by the additive combination of atomic orbitals and the antibonding orbitals are formed by the substractive combination of atomic orbitals.

Antibonding orbital is a molecular orbital that results when two parallel atomic orbitals with opposite phases interact.

Antibonding orbitals have higher energy than the bonding molecular orbitals.

Ground state and and exited states are the positions with lower and higher energy respectively.

HOMO is a molecular orbital which is the abbrevation of Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital.

LUMO is also a molecular orbital which is the short form of Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital.

If the lobes at the ends of the MO are in phase, then the MO is symmetric.

If the two lobes are out phase then the MO is antisymmetric.

Reagan is doing an atomic absorption experiment that requires a set of zinc standards in the 0.4-1.6 ppm range. A 1000 ppm Zn solution was prepared by dissolving the necessary amount of solid Zn(NO3)2 in water. The standards can be prepared by diluting the 1000 ppm Zn solution. Table 1 shows one possible set of serial dilutions (stepwise dilution of a solution) that Reagan could perform to make the necessary standards. Solution A was prepared by diluting 5.00 ml of the 1000 ppm Zn standard to 50.00 ml. Solutions C-E are called "calibration standards" because they will be used to calibrate the atomic absorption spectrometer. a. Compare the solution concentrations expressed as ppm Zn and ppm Zn(NO3)2. Compare the concentrations expressed as M Zn and M Zn(NO3)2 - Which units allow easy conversion between chemical species (e.g. Zn and Zn(NO3)2)? - Which units express concentrations in numbers with easily expressed magnitudes? - Suppose you have an analyte for which you don't know the molar…
