Chapter 3, Problem 3.11P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of a molecule with the formula C5H8 that has two sp-hybridized atoms is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Hybridization of an atom in a molecule or ion is determined by the number of electron groups in its valence shell. The number of electron groups and the number of hybrid orbitals is the same.

An electron group is a lone pair or a bond. Single bond, double bond, and triple bond all are considered as a single electron group.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structure of a molecule with the formula C5H8 that has four sp2-hybridized atoms is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Hybridization of an atom in a molecule or ion is determined by the number of electron groups in its valence shell. The number of electron groups and the number of hybrid orbitals is the same.

An electron group is a lone pair or a bond. Single bond, double bond, and triple bond all are considered as a single electron group.

Problem. Calculate the dipole moment of Glycine molecule using partial charge and positions of atoms. In this problem, How can I get the partial charge of the atoms? Should I find the reference or appendix?
Draw 5 molecules that follow all of the given condition of atoms: There is an sp3-hybridized O atom. There is an sp2-hybridized O atom. There is an sp2-hybridized N atom. There is an sp2-hybridized C atom.
The problem is asking how many Sp3, Sp2, and Sp atoms there are and the answer key says 16 Sp3, 8 Sp2 and 2 Sp but I'm not even counting 26 carbons on this molecule so I'm a little confused.
