Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The model of hexane should be interconverted without breaking of bonds.

7. Draw curved arrows indicating the movements of electrons between the following pair of resonance structures. Name the pattern of resonance shown. What is the hybridization of the carbon atoms? 8. Draw the remaining three resonance structures for the molecule in problem 7 above. 9. There are several possible forms of a trisubstituted cyclohexane with the formula C10H200. I have drawn four of them. From these, which one do you think is most commonly naturally occurring, and why? Which is least commonly occurring and why? HO HO" HO HO
3) Draw the most stable conformation of (2Z, 4E)-2,4-hexadiene.
Build a model of 2,2,5,5-tetramethylhexane. Orient the model so that you are looking at the carbon with the arrow pointing to it in Figure 3. Align the bond to the next carbon in the chain so that it is directly behind the first carbon to match a Newman projection view. (See Figure MM.3 in the lab manual) Spin the carbons on either side of the bond you're looking down to cycle through all three staggered and all three eclipsed positions of the substituents. Draw all six positions as Newman projections on the data sheet and identify the position with the highest energy. Draw the six Newman projections of all of the different energy levels. Label each as staggered or eclipsed and rank in order from lowest energy to highest.
