88/The curved arrow notation introduced in Section 1.6B is a powerful method used by organic chemists to show the movement of electrons not only in resonance structures, but also in chemical reactions. Because each curved arrow shows the movement of two electrons, following the curved arrows illustrates what bonds are broken and formed in a reaction. Consider the following three-step process. (a) Add curved arrows in Step [1] to show the movement of electrons. (b) Use the curved arrows drawn in Step [2] to identify the structure of X. X is converted in Step [3] to phenol and HCI. HO H' [1] H-ğ: + :: :ÖH [2] + H-ä: [3]

You will not find “hydroxide” in the stockroom, but you will find sodium hydroxide (NaOH) andpotassium hydroxide (KOH). Lithium hydroxide (LiOH) is expensive and used in spacecraft airfilters since hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide, and lithium is lighter than sodium or potassium.Cesium and francium hydroxides are very expensive and little used. Is this information consistentwith your answer to the previous question?
Is violet light (with a wavelength of 400 nm) sufficiently energetic to break a carbon-carbon single bond (the average C-C bond energy is 346 kJ/mol)?
Estimate ΔrH° for forming 2 mol ammonia from molecular nitrogen and molecular hydrogen. Is this reaction exothermic or endothermic?
3-107 Ephedrine, a molecule at one time found in the dietary supplement ephedra, has been linked to adverse health reactions, such as heart attacks, strokes, and heart palpitations. The use of ephedra in dietary supplements is now banned by the FDA. (a) Which is the most polar bond in ephedra? (b) Would you predict ephedra to be polar or nonpolar?
Draw out the organic shorthand for the molecules below, and then draw another possible resonance structure of the same molecule next to with arrows to show electron movement. -CH3CH2CONH3 -CH3CH2COOH
9a.) Let's put some pieces together. We can also apply energy diagrams to resonance structures. Explain what is happening in the following energy diagram AND draw curved arrows to show the "movement" of electrons from A, to A2.
#1: What is the formal charge of bromine in the structure of bromate, BrO3-? a) 0 b) +1 c) +2 d) -1 #2: Carbonate (CO32-) has three resonance structures. Choose the stayement that best expains the meaning of those 3 resonance structures. a) Carbonate consists of two single CO bonds and one double CO bond. b) Carbonate consists of one single structure which is an average of the three resonance structures. c) Carbonate quickly flips back and forth between three structures. d) Three different structures for carbonate coexist. #3: When compaing a carbon-carbon double bond (C==C) and a carbon-carbon single bond (C-C), the double bond is a) longer and shorter b) longer and weaker c) shorter and stronger d) shorter and weaker
What exactly is the difference between (E)/(Z) and cis/trans nomenclature? In my class, we usually use (E)/(Z) for double bonds- is it possible to use it for single bonds? Is (E)/(Z) used when cis/trans is not able to depict the geometric bonding as there are four different groups?
Write an equation to show the reaction between ethanol, C2H5OH and methyllithium, CH3 Draw all non-bonding electrons and show electron flow with curved arrows.
What is the formal charge on the iodine atom in the iodate ion, IO3–? give the correct answer and solve it
While carbon mostly forms 4 bonds (and has a full octet), this is not always true. During reactions, carbon intermediates often only make three bonds and do not follow this rule. a. Which of these three carbon atoms (to the right) has an incomplete octet? b. How many more electrons would be needed to fill each octet? c. What are the formal charges on these carbon atoms?
Make a model of propane (C3H8), and draw this model using dashed lines and wedges to represent bonds going back and coming forward
