(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: An orbital diagram of allene and the two perpendicular ends in orbital diagram.

Interpretation: An orbital diagram of allene is to be drawn and the two perpendicular ends in orbital diagram are to be shown.

Concept introduction: Allenes are the compounds in which two adjacent double bonds share the common carbon atoms. These are also known as cumulative dienes. Cumulative dienes are different from conjugated dienes because conjugated dienes comprise double bonds separated by one single bond.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The two enantionmers of penta2,3diene.

Interpretation: The two enantionmers of penta2,3diene are to be drawn.

Concept introduction: Allenes are the compounds in which two adjacent double bonds share common carbon atoms. These are also known as cumulative dienes. Cumulative dienes are different from conjugated dienes because conjugated dienes comprise double bonds separated by one single bond.
