- The structure of amphetamine, a stimulant, is shown below. (Replacing one H atom on the NH2, or amino, group with CH3 gives methamphetamine a particularly dangerous drug commonly known as speed.) (a) What are the hybrid orbitals used by the C atoms of the C6 ring. by the C atoms of the side chain, and by the N atom? (b) Give approximate values for the bond angles A, B, and C. (c) How many bonds and bonds are in the molerule? (d) Is the molecule polar or nonpolar? (e) Amphetamine reacts readily with a proton (H+) in aqueous solution. Where does this proton attach to the molecule? Explain how the electrostatic potential map predicts this site of protonation.arrow_forwardWhat hybrid orbitals would be expected for the central atom in each of the following molecules or ions?arrow_forwardThe compound sketched below is acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known as aspirin.

Explain your choices.arrow_forwardWhy do we hybtidize atomic orbitals to explain the bonding in covalent compounds? What type of bonds form from hybrid orbitals: sigma or pi? Explain.arrow_forward
- Aspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid, has the formula C9H8O4 and the skeleton structure (a) Complete the Lewis structure and give the number of bonds and bonds in aspirin. (b) What is the hybridization about the CO2H carbon atom (colored blue)? (c) What is the hybridization about the carbon atom in the benzene-like ring that is bonded to an oxygen atom (colored red)? Also, what is the hybridization of the oxygen atom bonded to this carbon atom?arrow_forwardSolid sulfur normally consists of crystals of S8 molecules, but when heated strongly, the solid vaporizes to give S2 molecules (among other molecular species). Describe the bonding in S2 in molecular orbital terms, assuming the orbitals are analogous to those of the preceding period. What would you expect to happen to the sulfur sulfur bond length if two electrons were added to give the S22 ion? What would you expect to happen to the bond length if, instead, two electrons were taken away to give S22+?arrow_forwardDo lone pairs about a central atom affect the hybridization of the central atom? If so, how?arrow_forward
