Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The following questions regarding 1,3,5-cycloheptatriene are to be answered:

a) How many p atomic orbitals are present in 1,3,5-cycloheptatriene. b) How many molecular orbitals describe this conjugated system. c) How many are bonding molecular orbitals. d) How many are anti-bonding molecular orbitals e) Which molecular orbitals are filled with electrons. f) If this molecule absorbs a photon of UV light, between which two molecular orbitals the electron will move.

Concept introduction:

When atomic orbitals overlap among themselves equal number of molecular orbitals, bonding and anti-bonding, are produced. Electrons occupy the molecular orbitals following Auf bau, Pauli’s exclusion principle and Hund’s rule. When the molecule absorbs a photon of UV light, the electron will move from the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) to lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO).

To answer:

The questions a) How many p atomic orbitals are present in 1,3,5-cycloheptatriene.b) How many molecular orbitals describe this conjugated system. c) How many are bonding molecular orbitals. d) How many are anti-bonding molecular orbitals e) Which molecular orbitals are filled with electrons. f) If this molecule absorbs a photon of UV light, between which two molecular orbitals the electron will move.

The unsaturation number or degree of unsaturation (U) can be used to determine the number of rings and multiple bonds in a compound from its molecular formula. Given a structure, you can determine the number of hydrogens without having to count them explicitly. Consider three compounds and their degree of unsaturation. (a) A compound A has the molecular formula C7H13ClN2OC7⁢H13⁢ClN2O. How many rings and/or π bonds does it contain?
(a)The concept of hybridization was first proposed by Linus Pauling in 1931, that explain about the concept of mixing orbitals to form new hybrid orbital suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds. Draw the kekule structure of a compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms that has: (1) One sp hybridize carbon, two sp? hybridized carbons and two sp hybridized carbon (ii) Two sp' hybridized carbon and two sp hybridized carbons (ii) Two sp? hybidized carbons and two sp hybydized carbon
The unmistakable odor of a freshly cut cucumber is largely due to cucumber aldehyde. (a) How many sp2 hybridizedcarbon atoms does cucumber aldehyde contain? (b) What is the hybridization of the O atom? (c) What orbitals are used toform the carbon–oxygen double bond? (d) How many s bonds does cucumber aldehyde contain? (e) How many p bondsdoes it contain?
