How many electrons are present in the nonbonding π molecular orbital of the allyl anion? a. 2 b. 1 c. 3 d. 0
1 answer:
The number of electrons, which are present in the nonbonding π molecular orbital of the allyl anion is "0".
Anions, cations, but also allylic radicals have always been frequently mentioned as reaction intermediates. Each one has three adjacent -hybridized carbon centers, and they all rely on resonance for stability. Two resonance structures would be used to present each species, with the charge as well as unpaired electron scattered across both the 1,3 and 0 positions.
The Aufbau principle states that these orbitals would fill up based on the order of stability, therefore a typical pi bond, will have 2 electrons in the Pi orbital as well as zero in the Pi* orbital.
Therefore, the correct answer will be option (d)

Answer:
See attached picture.
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, since C2H3Cl is an organic compound we need a central C-C parent chain to which the three hydrogen atoms and one chlorine atom provides the electrons to get all the octets except for H as given on the statement.
In such a way, on the attached picture you can find the required Lewis dot structure without formal charges and with all the unshared electron pairs, considering there is a double bond binding the central carbon atoms in order to compete their octets.
Best regards!
