Amide Lewis Structural Formulas
Lewis formulas are the major means by which structural information is communicated in
Two or more Lewis formulas, differing only in the placement of electrons, can often be written for a single compound. In such cases the separate structures represented by the Lewis formulas are said to be in resonance, and the true electron distribution is a hybrid of the electron distributions of the contributing structures.
The amide function is an important structural unit in peptides and proteins. Formamide, represented by the Lewis structure shown, is the simplest amide. It is a planar molecule with a dipole moment of
D. Lewis structures I–IV represent species that bear some relationship to the Lewis structure for formamide.
Which Lewis formula is a conjugate base of formamide?
I
II
III
IV

What is the pH of the solution? H₂C=CHCO₂H pK4.25arrow_forwardAs the lead product manager at OrganometALEKS Industries, you are trying to decide if the following reaction will make a molecule with a new bond as its major product: If this reaction will work, draw the major organic product or products you would expect in the drawing area below. If there's more than one major product, you can draw them in any arrangement you like. Be sure you use wedge and dash bonds if necessary, for example to distinguish between major products with different stereochemistry. If the major products of this reaction won't have a new bond, just check the box under the drawing area and leave it blank.arrow_forward

Specifically, in the drawing area below draw the skeletal ("line") structure of R. If there is more than one reasonable answer, you can draw any one of them. If there is no reasonable answer, check the No answer box under the drawing area. Note: the organic equation above only shows the important organic reactant and product. Minor small-molecule reactants or products (like ) are not shown.arrow_forwardYou are trying to decide if there is a reagent you can add that will make the following synthesis possible: Draw the missing reagent you think will make this synthesis work in the drawing area below. If there is no reagent that will make your desired product in good yield or without complications, just check the box under the drawing area and leave it blank.arrow_forward
