a)
Interpretation:
The reaction of the alkene, 2-butene, with a proton to give a carbocation is to be shown using curved arrows. The structure of the carbocation formed as also to be given.
Concept introduction:
The double bond in
Curved arrows start from a nucleophilic source (neutral or negatively charged) and end in an electrophilic sink (neutral or positively charged). During the flow of the electrons the octet rule must be maintained both in the source and sink.
To show:
Using curved arrows the reaction of the alkene, 2-butene, with a proton to give a carbocation and also to give the structure of the carbocation.
b)
Interpretation:
The reaction of the alkene, cyclopentene, with a proton to give a carbocation is to be shown using curved arrows. The structure of the carbocation formed as also to be given.
Concept introduction:
The double bond in alkenes is nucleophilic. The π electrons can be donated to a proton. By donating the π electrons one of the carbons in the double bond forms a new C-H bond while the other carbon gets a positive charge resulting in a carbocation.

Generate a molecular orbital diagram but this time using a different approach that draws on your knowledge and ability to put concepts together. First use VSEPR or some other method to make sure you know the ground state structure of the molecule. Next, generate an MO diagram for BH2. Sketch the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied MOs of the BH2 fragment. These are called frontier orbitals. Now use these frontier orbitals as your basis set for producing LGO's for B2H6. Since the BH2 frontier orbitals become the LGOS, you will have to think about what is in the middle of the molecule and treat its basis as well. Do you arrive at the same qualitative MO diagram as is discussed in the book? Sketch the new highest occupied and lowest unoccupied MOs for the molecule (B2H6).arrow_forward
