Concept explainers
Interpretation: Among 15 different structures of the molecular formula
Concept Introduction:
In dash line formula, all the symbols of atoms and the bonding electron pair lines are shown.
In a condensed format, the symbols of atoms are listed in the order as they appear in the structure of the molecule without bond lines or dashes.
In bond-line formula, the bonds between the atoms are drawn in a zigzag format and every end point is considered a carbon atom.
In three-dimensional representations of any molecule, the bonds in the plane of a paper are represented using ordinary lines, the bonds in front of the paper are indicated by solid wedges, whereas the bonds behind the paper are indicated by dashed wedges.

- What is the meaning of the term tertiary (3) when it is used to classify alcohols? Draw a structural formula for the one tertiary (3) alcohol with the molecular formula C4H10O.arrow_forwardTwo or more of your answers are incorrect. Use this condensed chemical structure to complete the table below. O || CH,=CH–C-H The condensed chemical structure of acrolein Some facts about the acrolein molecule: number of carbon-carbon single (CC) bonds: number of carbon-hydrogen single (CH) bonds: number of lone pairs: X S 2 1 4arrow_forwardThe carbon–carbon bond length in C2H2 is 1.20 Å, that in C2H4 is 1.34 Å, and that in C2H6 is 1.53 Å. Near which of these values would you predict the bond length of C2 to lie? Is the experimentally observed value, 1.31 Å, consistent with your prediction?arrow_forward
- 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_forwardThese two different C2H6O compounds are called structural (or constitutional) isomers - compounds with the same molecular formula but with different connections among their constituent atoms. If you must break and make new bonds in order to convert one structure into the other (not simply rotate the model around), then they are structural isomers. The concept of isomers is very important in organic chemistry and biochemistry. This is also another instance where condensed formulas can be very useful because they can help you distinguish two isomers apart even when you don't have models. Exercise 8) Can your models be interconverted by rotating bonds, or must the bonds be broken first? What does that mean about these two structures?arrow_forwardDraw the shapes of the following molecules and ions in 3-dimension. Show clearly any lone pairs of electrons on the central atom, state the number of bond pairs and lone pairs of electrons on the central atom and name the shape of the molecule or ion. (a) CH3+, methyl carbocation (b) HOBr, bromic (I) acid (c) NCl3, nitrogen trichloride Provide everything stated in the instructions for each compound.arrow_forward
- The average bond energy (enthalpy) for a C=CC=C double bond is 614 kJ/molkJ/mol and that of a C−CC−C single bond is 348 kJ/molkJ/mol. Estimate the energy needed to break only the ππ bond of the double bond of 2-butene. Express your answer numerically in joules per molecule.arrow_forwardConvert each of the following molecular models into a skeletal structure, and give the formula of each. Only the connections between atoms are shown; multiple bonds are not indicated (gray=C, red =O, blue =N, ivory = H)arrow_forwardMethanal can be made through the partial oxidation of methane using O2 in the presence of a catalyst: CH4 (g) + O2 (g) → CH2O(g) + H,O(g) a.

- Your chemistry professor draws a number of molecules on the board: (1) CH4 ; (2) H2C=CH2 ; (3) H2C=C=CH2 ; and (4) H2C=C=C=CH2. You muse about all the molecules that chemists draw on a two-dimensional board and wonder which ones are actually planar, existing basically as they appear on the board, and which ones are not plane but rather three-dimensional. Answer ALL of the following questions. What are the specific orbital overlaps (i.e., sp3-sp3) that are in each of the molecules? What are the bond angles for each central atom in each molecule? Which molecules are planar and which are non-planar?arrow_forwardFor each compound in the table below, decide whether there would be any hydrogen-bonding force between molecules of the compound, or between molecules of the compound and molecules of water. name dimethyl ether iodomethane acetic acid compound formula or Lewis structure H T H-C-Ö-C-H I H HILIA CH₂I | H H :O: | || H-C-C-O-H Between molecules of the compound?
