Chapter D, Problem D.2P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The orbital interaction that illustrates the most significant hyperconjugation interaction in ${\text{F-CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{-NH}}^{\text{-}}$ anion is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The HOMO is the highest occupied molecular orbital. If the HOMO and LUMO orbitals can interact, then the interaction stabilizes the entire species. The species that contribute to the pertinent HOMO in the interaction is relatively electron-rich. It is the Lewis base or the nucleophile. The species that contribute the pertinent LUMO is relatively electron-poor. It is the Lewis acid or the electrophile.
