Interpretation: The reason behind the representation of allene on the right more accurate than the one on the left in below figure should be explained.

  Organic Chemistry: A Guided Inquiry, Chapter 3, Problem 13E , additional homework tip  1

Concept introduction: Bonds formed due to head-to-head overlap are termed sigma bond while ones formed by sideways or lateral overlap are named pi-bonds.

The planar system or‘ sp2 hybridized present in molecules such as ethylene as illustrated follows:

  Organic Chemistry: A Guided Inquiry, Chapter 3, Problem 13E , additional homework tip  2

Each carbon in ethylene is trigonal planar due to sp2 hybridization. The right ethylene molecule as it shows all bonds in same plane. The one on right that has wedge and dash bonds indicate the one bond lie above and below the plane respectively.

a. The structure of the bicarbonate (hydrogen carbonate) ion, HCO3-, HCO3 " is best described as a hybrid of several contributing resonance forms, two of which are shown here. HO :0: HO + :Ö: Bicarbonate is crucial for the control of body pH (for example, blood pH 7.4). A more self-indulgent use is in baking soda, where it serves as a source of CO2 CO2 gas, which gives bread and pastry their fluffy constituency. (i) Draw at least one additional resonance form. = (ii) Using curved "electron-pushing" arrows, show how these Lewis structures may be interconverted by movement of electron pairs. (iii) Determine which form or forms will be the major contributor(s) to the real structure of bicarbonate, explaining your answer on the basis of the criteria in Section 1-5.
