Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structural formula of a compounds of molecular formula
Concept introduction:
A methylene group is a
Each carbon atom can, at the most, form four bonds. Each chlorine and hydrogen atom forms one bond.
In the structural formula, when all the four carbon atoms are present as methylene groups, there will be four
If there is no methylene group in the structural formula, then there will be methyl

- Methyl isocyanate, CH3 -N= C = O, is used in the industrial synthesis of a type of pesticide and herbicide known as a carbamate. As a historical note, an industrial accident in Bhopal, India, in 1984 resulted in leakage of an unknown quantity of this chemical into the air. An estimated 200,000 people were exposed to its vapors, and over 2000 of these people died. Q.) Write a Lewis structure for methyl isocyanate and predict its bond angles. What is the hybridization of its carbonyl carbon? Of its nitrogen atom?arrow_forwardWrite Lewis structures for the cis–trans isomers of CH3 CH = CHCl.arrow_forwardWhat is the meaning of the term tertiary (3) when it is used to classify alcohols?
