6. Application of Concepts a. The following hydrocarbon is actually a polar compound. Why is it polar, and which direction is the dipole oriented? Thoroughly explain your rationale (structures will be helpful).

When other resonance structures are drawn, one can see that there is a major contribution from the contributor in green. In this drawing, both rings are now aromatic, meaning this is a MAJOR contributor to the structure overall. Thus the left side is partially negative and the right side partially positive.

b. Rank the following hydrocarbons in order of increasing acidity (1 most acidic to 3 least acidic). Thoroughly explain your rationale (structures will be helpful).

Removal of the most acidic proton from each hydrocarbon gives the conjugate bases below. The leftmost structure is aromatic and thus very stable, meaning the conjugate acid is rather strong. The rightmost structure is antiaromatic and thus very unstable, meaning the conjugate acid is rather weak. The center structure is unaffected by resonance, and thus its conjugate acid strength lies somewhere in between.
