Concept Introduction:
Lewis structure is used for the representation of the bonding between atoms of molecule and lone pair of electrons that present in the molecule.
The VSEPR theory is used to determine the geometry of the molecule. Depending on the number of bond pair and lone pair, the shape of the molecule is determined.

- Acrylamide, H2C=CHCONH2, is a known neurotoxin and possible carcinogen. It was a shock to all consumers of potato chips and french fries a few years ago when it was found to occur in those products. (a) Sketch the molecular structure of acrylamide and identify all bond angles. (b) Indicate which carbon-carbon bond is the stronger of the two. (c) Is the molecule polar or nonpolar? (d) The amount of acrylamide found in potato chips is 1.7 mg/kg. If a serving of potato chips is 28 g, how many moles of acrylamide are you consuming?arrow_forwardhat does it mean to say that a bond is polar? Give two examples of molecules with polar bonds. Indicate in your examples the direction of the polarity.arrow_forwardGiven the bonds C N, C H, C Br, and S O, (a) which atom in each is the more electronegative? (b) which of these bonds is the most polar?arrow_forward
- Compounds (1) C4H6Cl2 and (2) AlCl3. Explain the difference between them using the following categories. Types of bonding? The number of chlorine atom of each one?arrow_forwardThe molecular shape of TeCl4^2¯ is __?arrow_forward1. Potassium reacts violently with water, yet the WHO recommends a potassium intake of at least 3.5 g per day for adults. Why doesn’t potassium react violently when eaten, even though the human body is about 70% water? Describe the difference in terms of atomic structure and energy. 2. What makes Lewis structures successful in this regard, and where does its predictive power end? 3. CH4 and CH3Cl are both tetrahedral molecules, but their polarities are different. Explain the reason for this difference. Draw the Lewis structures of both molecules, indicate the numerical electronegativity difference for every bond, and indicate whether each bond is polar or nonpolar.arrow_forward
- A new compound is made that has a C—C bond length of1.15 Å. Is this bond likely to be a single, double, or tripleC—C bond?arrow_forwardWhat is the resonance structure(s) of C6H6?arrow_forwardSome plant fertilizer compounds are (NH4)2SO4, Ca3(PO4)2, K2O, P2O5, and KC1.
