(a)
Interpretation:
The wrong in the given formula has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons between atoms.
The valence electrons of Carbon are 4 electrons (4 electrons require to achieve octet or 4 bonds).

(b)
Interpretation:
The wrong in the given formula has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons between atoms.
The valence electrons of Nitrogen are 5 electrons (3 electrons require to achieve octet or 3 bonds).

C60H111O51  Use the following information to answer the following questions."The native structure of hemoglobin (HB) comprises of two α and two β subunits, each of which carries a heme group. There appear to be no previous studies that report the in-vitro folding and assembly of Hb from highly unfolded α and β globin in a 'one-pot' reaction. One difficulty that has to be overcome for studies of this kind is the tendency of Hb to aggregate during refolding. This work demonstrates that denaturation of Hb in 40% acetonitrile at pH 10.0 is reversible."
