Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The MO resulting from the given orbital interaction is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
When atomic orbitals (AOs) of the opposite phases interact, they result in an antibonding molecular orbital (MO) that is higher in energy than the individual AOs.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the resulting MO is unique compared to the one shown on the right of Figure 3-6b is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
When atomic orbitals (AOs) of opposite phases interact, the resulting molecular orbital (MO) has higher energy than the separate AOs. Whether the phases of the two are negative and positive as shown here or positive and negative, the result is an MO that is raised in energy to the same extent.

- Show the full mechanism of how the molecule ((1E, 3E, 5E)-1-methoxyhepta-1,3,5-triene) is built using substitution and elimination reactions. You can start with an alkane of any carbon length with any number of leaving groups attached or with a alkoxide of any carbon length (conjugate base of an alcohol). Show each step and and explanation for each reaction. Also include why the reagents and solvents were picked and what other products can be expected.arrow_forwardProblems 1. Acids (11) and (12) were both made by Grignard addition to CO2 rather than by cyanide displacement (p T 80). Why? (11) -CO2H MeO- (12) CO,Harrow_forward2. Aldehyde (8) was needed for a butenolide synthesis. How would (8) be made? CHOarrow_forward

If Cul is added, there will be a shift left/shift right/no shift (circle one). b. If Cu2+ is added, there will be a shift left/shift right/no shift (circle one). c. If a solution of AgNO3 is added, there will be a shift left/shift right/no shift (circle one). d. If the solvent hexane (C6H14) is added, there will be a shift left/shift right/no shift (circle one). Hint: one of the reaction species is more soluble in hexane than in water. e. If the reaction is cooled, there will be a shift left/shift right/no shift (circle one). f. Which of the changes above will change the equilibrium constant, K?arrow_forward
