Give the structure of the product obtained when cyclopropene loses a proton. Will the product be aromatic or not?
1 answer:
Answer:
not aromatic
Explanation:
Cyclopropene -
as the compound is is made to lose a proton , and gains a negative charge on its ring ,
Now, The ring can become aromatic or anti - aromatic depending on the number of π electrobns ,
According to Huckel 's rule ,
The cyclic compounds with ( 4n+2 ) π electrons , where , n = 0, 1, 2, 3 ... , are considered to be aromatic in nature ,
And the cyclic compounds with ( 4n ) π electrons , where , n = 1, 2, 3 ... , are considered to be anti - aromatic in nature.
Now, for the cyclopropene structure , the number of π electron are equal to 4 , 2 from the double bond and 2 from the negative charge .
Therefore , the compound becomes not aromatic or anti - aromatic .

This means that the mass of one methane molecule is 12.011 u + (4 × 1.008u), or 16.043 u. This means that one mole of methane has a mass of 16.043 grams. A mole can be thought of as two bags of different sized balls. One bag contains 3 tennis balls and the other 3 footballs.
Samples of helium (He), nitrogen (N 2 ), and methane (CH 4 ) are at STP. Each contains 1 mole or 6.02 × 10 23 particles. However, the mass of each gas is different and corresponds to the molar mass of that gas: 4.00 g/mol for He, 28.0 g/mol for N 2 , and 16.0 g/mol for CH 4 .
