Interpretation:
Electrostatic potential is map shows the charge distributions of a molecule in 3D space.
This helps us to analyse the behaviour of a molecule.
Ex: Maximum electron density chemical region, minimum electron density region, shape and size of a molecule from the electrostatic potential map for ethylene oxide(CH2)2O
Predict interaction of ethylene oxide with another. Draw structure formula using the three- dimensional bond notation.
Concept introduction:
Electrostatic potential maps which shows the charge distribution a molecule in 3D space. Electrostatic potential map is very similar to the fundamental structure of the two dimensional molecular structure.
Red colour shows the lowest electrostatic potential, green show the highest electrostatic potential & intermediate colour show the intermediate.
Potentials: Form this it becomes clear that red region shows higher electron density and blue region shows lower electron density.

- Consider the iodine monochloride molecule, ICI. Because chlorine is more electronegative than iodine, this molecule is a dipole. How would you expect iodine monochloride molecules in the gaseous state to orient themselves with respect to each other as the sample is cooled and the molecules begin to aggregate? Sketch the orientation you would expect.arrow_forwardDescribe the formation of hydrogen bonds in propanol, CH3CH2CH2OH.
