Chapter 1, Problem 55P

Boron is a group IIIA element. Open the molecular model for boron trifluoride from the 3D Molecular Models section of the book’s website. Near the boron atom, above and below the plane of the atoms in BF 3 , are two relatively large lobes. Considering the position of boron in the periodic table and the three-dimensional and electronic structure of BF 3 , what type of orbital does this lobe represent? Is it a hybridized orbital or not?

2) a) Consider the following molecule . Given what you have learned about hybridization theory, draw an image or images explaining the bonding situation in this molecule. I want you to draw out all of the orbitals, hybrid orbitals and how they overlap to form the bonds in the molecule. Indicate the % s or p character in the given atomic and hybrid orbitals. Which C-C bond or bonds are the longest? In a paragraph or so explain the image or images you just drew. b) Lastly, consider the molecule below. Indicate the Molecular formula, the molar mass, label the hybridization of each atom except for hydrogen, indicate any chiral centers with a *, which bond or bonds are the shortest, identify by name of each functional group with an arrow pointing to the group.
Write orbital diagrams (boxes with arrows in them) to represent the electron configurations of carbon before and after sp hybridization.
1,Which of the following statements is true? Group of answer choices A, A p bond results from the sideways overlap of hybridized orbitals. B, A p bond is the result of the overlap of an s orbital and a p orbital. C, A p bond is twice as strong as a sigma bond. D, A p bond results from the sideways overlap of p orbitals.   2,  According to Lewis structure for the simplest amino acid, glycine, H2NCH2CO2H (check EXAMPLE 4.16) and  valence-bond theory, the bonding is described as following:Group of answer choices A, 8σ,  1π B, 14σ,  1π C, 9σ,  1π D, 10σ,  0π
