Draw two different possible hydrogen-bonding interactions between two molecules of formamide (HCONH2). Clearly label the hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor atoms. Which of these two possible hydrogen-bonding interactions is more likely to occur? (Hint: Consider resonance structures for formamide.)
Suppose you had an organic molecule such as cysteine (see Figure 4.9,sulfhydryl group example), and you chemically removed the --NH2 group and replaced it with --COOH. Draw this structure. How would this change the chemical properties of the molecule? Is the central carbon asymmetric before the change? After?
