Question 1.
Define the inductive effect in your own words.
Show hintHide hint
Think about whether electron density shifts in a bond.
Question 2.
What is a resonance structure?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how some molecules can't be represented by a single structure.
3Question 3.
What occurs during the inductive effect?
- A temporary electron shift
- Permanent dipole formation
- A change in orbital hybridization
Show hintHide hint
Think about charges developing between atoms.
4Question 4.
True or False: Electromeric effect is a permanent characteristic of covalent bonds.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider if the effect persists when the reagent is removed.
Question 5.
Analyze how the presence of a nitro group affects the aromaticity of the benzene ring compared to an alkyl substituent, using inductive and resonance effects.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how substituents like -NO2 and -R shift the resonance structures.
Question 6.
Evaluate the stability of different enol and keto forms of a compound considering resonance. Discuss how electron displacement can shift stability.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how the keto form can distribute charge effectively due to π-bonding.
