Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The total number of σ bonds and the total number of π bonds in levomenol (Problem 3.34) is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Every single bond is a σ bond. Each double bond is composed of one π bond and one σ bond. Each triple bond is composed of two π bond and one σ bond.

Levomenol, a naturally occurring sesquiterpene alcohol, has a sweet-smelling aroma and has been used as a component in fragrances. It also is known to have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Determine the electron geometry, hybridization, and molecular geometry for each nonhydrogen atom in levomenol.
AmbienTM is a sedative used in the treatment of insomnia. It was discovered in 1982 and brought to market in 1992 (it takes a long time for new drugs to undergo the extensive testing required to receive approval from the Food and Drug Administration). Identify the hybridization state and geometry of each carbon atom in the structure of this compound:Write the carbon atom(s) in numerical order as a comma separated list (e.g. to identify carbon atoms 1, 3, 4, 5, 18 and 19 write "1,3-5,18-19"). If there are no carbons with the specified hybridization, write "0" for carbon atom(s) and select "N/A" for the geometry.
Point out the hybridization situation (sp3, sp2, sp, or not hybridized) of the highlighted atoms below.: note that you are responsible for adding proper number of lone pairs wherever necessary. C(highlighted) on the left is __________ hybridized; so the bond angle CCC (around the same carbon) is  O(highlighted) on the right is ___________ hybridized; so the bond angle COC (around the oxygen) is _______ N(highlighted) at the top-left corner is __________________ hybridized; so the bond angle NCC is __________ . N(highlighted) on the right is __________________ hybridized; so the bond angle CNC is __________ .
