Aeeording to your Lewis structure(s) and to the actual geometry of the molecule, is the bonding in planar corannulene fully delocalized (as in benzene), or are some CC bonds long and some short Do your results support the notion that planar corrannulene is resonance stabilized Explain. 

Examine the geometry of methylbenzyne. Measure carbon-earbon distances. Which 7C bonds are deloealized and whieh are localized Is there really a triple bond (Compare bond distance to triple bond in hexa-l,5-dien-3-yne and to partial double bonds in benzene). Are you able to draw a single Lewis structure whieh adequately represents the geometry of the molecule ... 

Draw and compare Lewis structures for benzene and pyridine. How many 7C electrons does each molecule have Where are the most accessible electrons in each Display the electrostatic potential map for pyridine and compare it to the corresponding map for benzene. Would you expect electrophilic attack on pyridine to occur analogously to that in benzene If so, should pyridine be more or less susceptible to aromatic substitution than benzene If not, where would you expect electrophilic attack to occur Explain. 

Benzene, C6H(l, is another molecule best described as a resonance hybrid. It consists of a planar hexagonal ring of six carbon atoms, each one having a hydrogen atom attached to it. One Lewis structure that contributes to the resonance hybrid is shown in (11) it is called a Kekulc structure. The structure is normally written as a line structure (see Section C), a simple hexagon with alternating single and double lines (12). 

Borazine, B3N3Hft, a compound that has been called inorganic benzene because of its similar hexagonal structure (but with alternating B and N atoms in place of C atoms), is the basis of a large class of boron—nitrogen compounds. Write its Lewis structure and predict the composition of the hybrid orbitals used by each B and N atom.

C21-0046. Borazine (B3 N3 Hg ) is a planar molecule analogous to benzene (Cg Hg ). Write the Lewis structure and describe the bonding of borazine. 

In many molecules the bonds between two given atoms have lengths that are intermediate between those of single and double bonds or between double and triple bonds. A familiar example is benzene for which the Lewis structure is... 

Figure 3.42 Potential-energy curves for benzene (17), comparing the total energy (-Etotai, solid curve) with the energy of the idealized single Lewis structure dotted curve) along a D3h distortion coordinate AR = R2,3 — R i that lowers the D6h symmetry to cyclohexatriene form.

Figure 3.43 The pi-conjugative non-Lewis energy (l NL(7t)) for benzene (17) along a distortion coordinate (cf. Fig. 3.42). Corresponding values for m-butadiene (2, crosses) are shown for comparison. (The cusp-like behavior arises because Lnl171 is defined with respect to a different idealized Lewis structure on each side of A R = 0.)...

Quinone, 22, represents a six-membered carbon ring system with a conjugation pattern quite unlike that of benzene. As shown by its leading Lewis structure (of... 

The molecular orbital picture of benzene proposes that the six jt electrons are no longer associated with particular bonds, but are effectively delocalized over the whole molecule, spread out via orbitals that span all six carbons. This picture allows us to appreciate the enhanced stability of an aromatic ring, and also, in due course, to understand the reactivity of aromatic systems. There is an alternative approach based on Lewis structures that is also of particular value in helping us to understand chemical behaviour. Because this method is simple and easy to apply, it is an approach we shall use frequently. This approach is based on what we term resonance structures. 

Benzene, CgHg, is a common industrial solvent. The benzene molecule is based on a ring of covalently bonded Ccirbon atoms. Draw two acceptable Lewis structures for benzene. Based on the structures, describe a likely resonance hybrid structure for benzene. 

Chrysene is an aromatic hydrocarbon found in coal tar. Convert the molecular model to a Lewis structure in which all of the rings correspond to Kekule formulas of benzene. 

IN the past twenty years the electronic structures of many organic molecules, particularly benzene and related compounds, have been discussed in toms of the molecular orbital and valence bond methods.1 During the same period the structures of inorganic ions have been inferred from the bond distances f a bond distance shorter than the sum of the conventional radii has been attributed to the resonance of double bonded structures with the single bonded or Lewis structure. 

Does formation of bromobenzenium ion lead to disruption of the aromaticity of benzene Is the ion highly delocalized Examine the geometry of bromobenzenium ion, and measure CC bond distances. Are they all the same (as in benzene) or do you see alternation between short and long distances How do they compare to bond distances in benzene, and to typical single and double bond distances (1.54A and 1.32A, respectively). Draw a Lewis structure (or series of Lewis structures) to convey what you observe. Examine atomic charges as well as the electrostatic potential map for bromobenzenium ion. Where is the positive charge Is it localized on a single center or delocalized over several centers ...
