(a)
Interpretation:
In the given molecule, the atoms that are required to be in the same plane are to be circled.
Concept introduction:
Groups that are connected by a single bond have the ability to rotate freely relative to each other. But the groups which are connected by a double bond do not rotate freely. In the case of a double bond, the pi bond would be broken because during rotation, the overlap between the p orbitals would be destroyed. When two atoms are connected by a double bond, those two atoms and all the atoms directly attached to them, prefer to lie in the same plane.
(b)

In the given molecule, the atoms that are required to be in the same plane are to be circled.

- Nonearrow_forwardNeed 5 mins only answer pleasearrow_forwardCould we cut just one bond in the "starting" molecule shown in the drawing area below to create this "target" molecule? If so, highlight the bond to be cut. If not, check the box under the drawing area that says Not possible. Note: it's OK if cutting the bond creates more than one molecule, as long as one of them is the target molecule. Not possible. The target molecule. H H Note for advanced students: what we mean by "cutting" the bond here is breaking the bond and attaching H atoms to each dangling end, like this: ++*++ H C-H H-ő-H H X -Ö-H Sarrow_forward
- Also, highlight each bond in this structure that is cis but which could be trans in a different cis/trans isomer. If there are no such bonds, check the No bonds to highlight box under the drawing area. Note: be careful not to highlight a bond just because it's cis in this drawing! It also needs to be a bond that would create a different cis/trans isomer if it were changed to trans. This molecule has cis/trans isomers in all.

- Describe with words how you would draw the curved arrow(s) to get to the more stable resonance form for the left-hand pair. Be sure to include how many curved arrows are needed and what atom (or bond) the electrons are coming from or going to. Do the same for the resonance pair on the right-hand side. more stable more stablearrow_forwarddraw the missing resonance structurearrow_forwardI dont understand. Select the bonds in the 3D representation of thymine below that are multiple bonds. (Hint: Consider the number of bonds attached to an atom in the image compared to the normal valence of that atom. In a valid structure, the number of bonds to an atom will equal the valence of that atom.)arrow_forward
