Chloral, Cl3C—CH=O, reacts with water to form the sedative and hypnotic agent chloral hydrate, Cl3C—CH(OH)2. Draw Lewis structures for these substances, and describe the change in molecular shape, if any, that occurs around each of the carbon atoms during the reaction.
CF 2Cl 2 belongs to a class of compounds called the chlorofl uorocarbons (CFCs), once widely used as refrigerants and aerosol propellants. Draw a Lewis structure for CF 2Cl 2 and label the polar bonds. Is CF 2Cl 2 a polar or nonpolar molecule?
Acetyl chloride, CH₃C(O)Cl, is used as a reagent for the acylation of salicylic acid in the synthesis of aspirin. Draw the Lewis structure of CH₃C(O)Cl (with minimized formal charges) and then determine if the molecule is polar or nonpolar. +
