Chapter 1 Problem 1.77

Question

In future chapters, we will encounter carbanionsions in which a carbon atom has three bonds and a lone pair of electrons and bears a negative charge. Draw another contributing structure for the allyl anion. Now, using cartoon representations, draw the three orbitals that represent the delocalized p system (look at Figure 1.26 for a hint). Which of the three orbitals are populated with electrons? Allyl anion C C C H H H H H

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 1 problem number 79 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In future chapters, we will encounter carbanionsions in which a carbon atom has three bonds and a lone pair of electrons and bears a negative charge. Draw another contributing structure for the allyl anion. Now, using cartoon representations, draw the three orbitals that represent the delocalized p system (look at Figure 1.26 for a hint). Which of the three orbitals are populated with electrons? Allyl anion C C C H H H H H
From the textbook chapter Covalent Bonding and Shapes of Molecules you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
