Chapter 5, Problem 52DSP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Using Hammond’s postulate for the potential energy diagram for the given reaction, the structures which resemble each other are to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The potential energy diagram for a reaction represents the energy of the reactants, products, the transition states, and the reactive intermediates.

Using this diagram, the structures which resemble each other can be determined on the basis of their energy.

When the energy of two consecutive states is similar, these two states resemble in structure too. This is the Hammond’s postulate.
