The molecular structure of hinokitiol is represented below (See attached image) Draw a complete Lewis structure of the molecule and answer the following questions. Complete the structure by adding ONLY hydrogen atoms to carbon atoms where needed. You must not create any other bonds. Atoms such as oxygen or nitrogen may have lone pairs to complete their octets. Each of the non-hydrogen atoms of this skeletal structure has been randomly numbered. Match the atom number with the orbital hybridization invoked for sigma bonding. Match these to the below (A)) (Options: sp3, sp2, sp, s, p, d2sp3, dsp3) A) 12, 9, 7, 2, 4 B) How many pairs of non-bonding electrons are there in the molecule? C) How many CH3 (methyl) groups are there in the molecule? D) How many CH2 (methylene) groups are there in the molecule? (i.e. # of C-atoms having exactly two bonded H-atoms) E) How many CH (methyne) groups are there in the molecule? (i.e. # of C-atoms having exactly one bonded H-atom) F) How many C-atoms having no bonded H-atoms are there in the molecule? G) How many π-bonds are there in the molecule? H) How many σ-bonds are there in the molecule? Determine the molecular formula for this molecule. Choose appropriate coefficients in the molecular formula below. C ____ H_____O____
Formal Charges
Formal charges have an important role in organic chemistry since this concept helps us to know whether an atom in a molecule is neutral/bears a positive or negative charge. Even if some molecules are neutral, the atoms within that molecule need not be neutral atoms.
Polarity Of Water
In simple chemical terms, polarity refers to the separation of charges in a chemical species leading into formation of two polar ends which are positively charged end and negatively charged end. Polarity in any molecule occurs due to the differences in the electronegativities of the bonded atoms. Water, as we all know has two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom. As oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen thus, there exists polarity in the bonds which is why water is known as a polar solvent.
Valence Bond Theory Vbt
Valence bond theory (VBT) in simple terms explains how individual atomic orbitals with an unpaired electron each, come close to each other and overlap to form a molecular orbital giving a covalent bond. It gives a quantum mechanical approach to the formation of covalent bonds with the help of wavefunctions using attractive and repulsive energies when two atoms are brought from infinity to their internuclear distance.
