Among the two substituents,
Concept introduction:
An electrostatic potential map represents electron clouds in a molecule in various colors that indicate its relative charge. Red color indicates the buildup of negative charge whereas the blue color indicates a buildup of positive charge. Colors between red and blue in the spectrum indicate a more neutral charge. Anions are stabilized by electron-withdrawing groups near the negative charge. Delocalization of the charge via resonance lowers the concentration of the charge and increases the stability of the anion. With lower concentration of charge comes greater stability.

- 7 The pentadienyl radical, H2C“CH¬CH“CH¬CH2#, has its unpaired electron delocalized over three carbon atoms.(a) Use resonance forms to show which three carbon atoms bear the unpaired electron.arrow_forwardTwo useful organic compounds that contain Cl atoms are vinyl chloride (CH2 = CHCI) and chloroethane (CH;CH;CI). Vinyl chloride is the starting material used to prepare poly (vinyl chloride), a plastic used in insulation, pipes, and bottles. Chloroethane (ethyl chloride) is a local anesthetic. Why is the C- Cl bond of vinyl chloride stronger than the C– CIl bond in chloroethane.arrow_forwardShow the delocalization of charges in the following structures. Draw the resonance forms and indicate the movement of electrons with curved arrows.Hint: First draw the Lewis structure for each the compound.(i) CH2=CH─O-(ii) CH2=CH─O+arrow_forward

As a historical note, an industrial accident in Bhopal, India, in 1984 resulted in leakage of an unknown quantity of this chemical into the air. An estimated 200,000 people were exposed to its vapors, and over 2000 of these people died. Q.) Write a Lewis structure for methyl isocyanate and predict its bond angles.
