(a)
Interpretation:
The indicated bond angles needs to be determined in the following compound:
Concept Introduction:
The geometry around an atom depends on the number of bond pairs and lone pairs of electrons around it. There are approximate bond angles between atoms, defined for a particular geometry as follows:
Molecular geometry around interested atom | Bond angle (') |
Linear | 180 |
Trigonal planer | 120 |
Tetrahedral | 109.5 |
Trigonal pyramidal | 109.5 |
Bent | 109.5 |

- How many hydrogen atoms are present around each highlighted carbon atom in the following molecules? What is the molecular formula for each molecule? Both compounds are active ingredients in some common sunscreens.arrow_forwarddraw skeletal structure of this molecule: H2N-CH2-CH-CH2-CH3-CH3arrow_forwardDraw an acceptable Lewis structure for each compound, assuming the atoms are connected asarranged. Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is a poison, formaldehyde (H2CO) is a preservative, and glycolic acid (HOCH2CO2H) is used to make dissolving sutures.arrow_forward
- How many valence electrons does the positively charged carbon atom have?arrow_forwardComplete the following Lewis structure by adding in missing lone pairs and pi bonds. Assume all atoms are neutral (having no formal charge). Do not add additional atoms to the structure.arrow_forwardDraw a Lewis structure for the molecule below, showing all lone pairs. You may abbreviate any methyl groups as CH3. HOCH2CH(NH2)CH3arrow_forward
