Let us construct the molecular orbital diagram of ethylene (in pieces). a. First, construct the MO diagram of linear carbene (CH2). Draw pictures of all 6 orbitals b. Now bend the carbene to a bond angle of about 120°. How does this change your MO diagram? Draw pictures of all 6 orbitals. c. Now bring two of these carbene molecules together to make ethylene. Draw pictures of all 12 orbitals.
Can you please help with the organic chemistry question attached?
Draw the molecular orbital diagram of a linear C-H (i.e. one carbon atom bonded to one hydrogen atom). Draw out the MOs for orbitals containing electrons.
1. Would you expect C-H to behave as a carbocation, carbanion, or radical?
2. Would removal of one electron from C-H to generate C-H+ increase or decrease the bond length between carbon and hydrogen?

- 4. Octatetraene, C8H10, is an 8-membered linear carbon chain with alternating single and double bonds. As a result, each carbon is left with an unhybridized p-orbital containing one electron. This problem will take you through steps to construct and fill the molecular orbital diagram for octatetraene based on the way these different p-orbitals can come together. a) The various molecular orbitals formed from octatetraene’s 8 unhybridized p-orbitals are shown on the next page. Draw the nodal planes for each molecular orbital. Hint: A nodal plane is a line through the molecule that denotes the sites of destructive interference. An example is shown below with ethylene. b) Based on the nodal planes, arrange the energy levels corresponding to the 8 molecular orbitals on the energy level diagram (label them using the numbering provided on the left side of the molecular orbitals) on the next page, in order of lowest to highest energy. c) Populate your molecular…arrow_forward4arrow_forward4.
