Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: A Lewis structure for entacapone is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: One should follow the given steps to draw the Lewis structure of a given skeleton structure. The first step is placing a C atom at the intersection and at the end of any two lines. The second step is addition of enough hydrogen to make each carbon atom tetravalent. The third step is providing the lone pairs to heteroatom to complete an octet.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The longest CC bond in entacapone is to be identified.

Concept introduction: Bond length is inversely proportional to the number of electrons present between two nuclei. This means as the number of electrons present between two nuclei increases bond length becomes shorter and stronger.

Answer to Problem 1.77P

The CH2CH3 group contains longest CC bond in entacapone (labeled by red color).

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY SOLUTION MANUAL, Chapter 1, Problem 1.77P , additional homework tip  3

Explanation of Solution

Bond length is inversely proportional to the number of electrons present between two nuclei. This means as the number of electrons present between two nuclei increases bond length becomes shorter and stronger.

Therefore, triple bonds are stronger and shorter than double bonds, which are stronger than single bonds.

The longest CC bond in entacapone is labeled by red color as shown below.

There are two main types of covalent bond breakage. In ho-molytic breakage , each atom in the bond gets one of the shared electrons. In some cases, the electronega-tivity of adjacent atoms affects the bond energy. In heterolytic breakage, one atom gets both electrons and the other gets none;thus, a cation and an anion form. (a) Why is the C−C bond in H₃C−CF₃(423 kJ/mol) strongerthan that in H₃C−CH₃(376 kJ/mol)?(b) Use bond energy and any other data to calculate the heat ofreaction for the heterolytic cleavage of O₂.
4. Which molecule or ion does not contain two π bonds (check examples in Chapter 4)? Group of answer choices A, HCCH B, SCN– C, H2CCH2 D, CO2
