The correct Answer is:
To determine in which of the given compounds delocalization of π-electrons is possible, we need to identify if there is a conjugated system present. A conjugated system is characterized by alternating single and double bonds, which allows for the overlap of π-orbitals and the delocalization of π-electrons across the molecule. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds**: We need to analyze the given compounds to check for the presence of alternating single and double bonds. 2. **Analyze Each Compound**: - **Compound 1**: Only has double bonds (e.g., C=C). - **Conclusion**: No conjugation; no delocalization of π-electrons is possible. - **Compound 2**: Contains a single bond followed by a double bond (e.g., C-C=C). - **Conclusion**: No conjugation; no delocalization of π-electrons is possible. - **Compound 3**: Has a structure like CH2=CH-CH=CH2. - **Conclusion**: This compound shows alternating double and single bonds (conjugation). Therefore, π-electrons can delocalize across the molecule. - **Compound 4**: Has a double bond followed by two single bonds and then another double bond (e.g., C=C-C-C=). - **Conclusion**: There is no alternating pattern of single and double bonds; thus, no delocalization of π-electrons is possible. 3. **Final Conclusion**: The only compound that allows for the delocalization of π-electrons is Compound 3 (CH2=CH-CH=CH2). ### Answer: The delocalization of π-electrons is possible in **Compound 3**.
