Draw the addition product formed when one equivalent of hcl reacts with the following diene.
1 answer:
Answer:
Major Product = 4-chloro-4-methylcyclohex-1-ene
Explanation:
Alkene are the class of organic compounds which contain one or more double bonds between two carbon atoms. Alkenes are considered most reactive among the unsaturated hydrocarbons and they undergo <em>addition reactions</em> due to high electron density around the double bonds.
In given question it is written that we are provided with one equivalent of HCl while, our compound contains two double bonds (diene) so in selected starting material the HCl will be added across (hydrohalogenation reaction) the substituted double bond because it will give a more stable carbocation (<u><em>tertiary carbocation</em></u>) during the reaction course. Hence, as shown in reaction scheme 4-chloro-4-methylcyclohex-1-ene will be the major product.

Answer: B. trigonal planar
Explanation:
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory (VSEPR) is a model to predict the geometry of the atoms making up a molecule where atoms are arranged such that the forces of repulsion are minimum.
If a central atom is bound to three electron domains ,the number of electron pairs is 3, that means the hybridization will be and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be trigonal planar as the electron pairs will repel each other and attain a position which is most stable.
Example: with 3 electron domains has trigonal planar geometry.
