Interpretation:
The geometry of
Concept introduction:
Hybridization is the mixing of valence atomic orbitals to get equivalent hybridized orbitals that having similar characteristics and energy.
Geometry of a molecule can be predicted by knowing its hybridization.
(b)
Interpretation:
The bond angle
Concept introduction:
Hybridization is the mixing of valence atomic orbitals to get equivalent hybridized orbitals that having similar characteristics and energy.
Geometry of a molecule can be predicted by knowing its hybridization.
(c)
Interpretation:
The chirality of this molecule has to be checked and also the chiral carbon atom has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
A chiral carbon is the carbon atom which is substituted to four different groups. Due to presence of chiral carbon a molecule become chiral and it gives optical isomers also that is
All the substituents are different hence is is a chiral carbon and so molecule.
(d)
Interpretation: The most acidic hydrogen atom in the given compound has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Any chemical substance can be classified as an acid or base by using Lewis acid base theory. Further, the acidic and basic nature of the substance can be analyzed through the ability of molecules to accept and donate electrons.
According to Lewis acid -base theory,
An acid is a substance that accepts a pair of electrons.
A base is a substance that donates a pair of electrons

- There are 17 possible alkene isomers with the formula C6H12. Draw structures of the five isomers in which the longest chain has six carbon atoms, and give the name of each. Are any of these isomers chiral? (There are also eight isomers in which the longest chain has five carbon atoms, and four isomers in which the longest chain has four carbon atoms. How many can you find?)arrow_forwardMaleic acid and fumaric acid are the cis- and trans- isomers, respectively, of C2H2(COOH)2, a dicarboxylic acid. Draw and label their structures.arrow_forwardProstaglandin F2α, a hormone that causes uterine contraction during childbirth, has the following structure. Are the two hydroxyl groups (-OH) on the cyclopentane ring cis or trans to each other? What about the two carbon chains attached to the ring?arrow_forward
- Write the name of the following compounds. Which of them are stereoisomers? Which of them are optically active? Use cis-trans, (E)(Z) nomenclature and assign the absolute configuration (R),(S), if any to each chiral center.arrow_forwardDraw the structural isomers of C2H4BrCl and identify which of them has a chiral center.arrow_forwardOrganic Chemistry HW: 2,6-dimethyloct-2-ene cannot be handwritten, please type or use a program to draw Chiral Carbons show the expanded structure of this molecule. Determine if this molecule contains any chiral carbons. If there are chiral carbons in the molecule, circle or highlight all of them. If your molecule does not contain any chiral carbons explain why none of the carbons are chiralarrow_forward
- For each of the following compounds,determine whether each is optically active. For optically active compounds, identify the chiral carbon: ethane, 2-chloro-2-methylbutane, CH3CH(NH2)COOH, CH3CH2CHClCH3and CH3CH2CH2CH3. And for non-optical active compounds, just provide the structure of the compoundarrow_forwardOn a blank sheet of paper, draw the constitutional isomers of C6H14?arrow_forward
