Answer to Problem 1.38P
The molecular formula of zingerone is
Explanation of Solution
The given ball-and-stick model of zingerone is,
Figure 1
In ball-and-stick model, each colored ball represents a specific atom and each stick represents a bond. In this model, each black ball represents
In the above model,
• There are three red balls. Thus, there are three
• There are eleven black balls. Thus, there are eleven
• There are fourteen grey balls. Thus, there are fourteen
Hence, the molecular formula of zingerone is
The molecular formula of zingerone is
(b)
Interpretation: The number of lone pairs in zingerone is to be stated.
Concept introduction: In a compound or molecule, the lone pairs represent number of unshared electrons on atom. An atom may or may not have unshared electrons. For example, carbon and hydrogen atoms have no lone pair but each oxygen atom has two lone pairs.
