Explain why penta-1,4-diene, H2C=CH−CH2−CH=CH2\text{H}_2\text{C}=\text{CH}-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}=\text{CH}_2 , does not contain any delocalized π\pi electrons whereas penta-1,3-diene, H2C=CH−CH=CH−CH3\text{H}_2\text{C}=\text{CH}-\text{CH}=\text{CH}-\text{CH}_3 , does contain delocalized π\pi electrons.
