(a)
Interpretation:
Each carbon in the following molecule should be labeled as tetrahedral, trigonal planar or linear:
Concept Introduction:
Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory is used to determine the shape. VSEPR is based on the fact that electron pairs repel each other; thus, when groups (a group is either an atom or a lone pair of electrons) are as far away from each other as possible then they are in most stable arrangement.
(b)
Interpretation:
Each carbon in the following molecule should be labeled as tetrahedral, trigonal planar or linear:

A student found a bottle in the lab filled with a colorless solution. The label on the bottle was fading. The students were able to correctly identify, but knewit was aa phenol from the readable part of the label. The student decided to run a ferric chloride test. The test resulted in a greed color. What is the identity of the liquid? 3. Predict below alcohols their skeletal structure; if soluble in water; does it contain a phenol group, is it primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohol; can it be oxidized by chromate; if yes what is the oxidation product and draw the skeletal structure; will the alcohol form a colorful ccomplex with Fe3+?
