Reactive Intermediates
In chemistry, reactive intermediates are termed as short-lived, highly reactive atoms with high energy. They rapidly transform into stable particles during a chemical reaction. In specific cases, by means of matrix isolation and at low-temperature reacti…
Hydride Shift
A hydride shift is a rearrangement of a hydrogen atom in a carbocation that occurs to make the molecule more stable. In organic chemistry, rearrangement of the carbocation is very easily seen. This rearrangement can be because of the movement of a carboc…
Vinylic Carbocation
A carbocation where the positive charge is on the alkene carbon is known as the vinyl carbocation or vinyl cation. The empirical formula for vinyl cation is C2H3+. In the vinyl carbocation, the positive charge is on the carbon atom with the double bond t…
Cycloheptatrienyl Cation
It is an aromatic carbocation having a general formula, [C7 H7]+. It is also known as the aromatic tropylium ion. Its name is derived from the molecule tropine, which is a seven membered carbon atom ring. Cycloheptatriene or tropylidene was first synthes…
Stability of Vinyl Carbocation
Carbocations are positively charged carbon atoms. It is also known as a carbonium ion.

Chapter 7, Problem 15P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of double bonds present in fullerene should be determined along with one way of placing them in structure which is shown in figure 7.17a.

Concept Introduction:

Octet rule:

The atoms of low atomic number combine or elements form bond in such a manner that each atom contains eight electrons in outermost shell or valence shell and their electronic configuration will be same as a noble gas.

Fullerene molecular formula: C60

Fullerene has 60 carbon atoms and its structure is arranged in a closed net having 12 pentagonal and 12 hexagonal faces to form cage like structure.
