- The study of carbon-containing compounds and their properties is called organic chemistry. Besides carbon atoms, organic compounds also can contain hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms (as well as other types of atoms). A common trait of simple organic compounds is to have Lewis structures where all atoms have a formal charge of zero. Consider the following incomplete Lewis structure for an organic compound called histidine (an amino acid), which is one of the building blocks of proteins found in our bodies: Draw a complete Lewis structure for histidine in which all atoms have a formal charge of zero.arrow_forwardDefine formal charge and explain how to calculate it. What is the purpose of the formal charge? Organic compounds are composed mostly of carbon and hydrogen but also may have oxygen, nitrogen, and/or halogens in the formula. Formal charge arguments work very well for organic compounds when drawing the best Lewis structure. How do C, H, N, O, and Cl satisfy the octet rule in organic compounds so as to have a formula charge of zero?arrow_forwardCyanamide (H2NCN), an important industrial chemical, is produced by the following steps: Calcium cyanamide (CaNCN) is used as a direct-application fertilizer, weed killer, and cotton defoliant.

Give the hybridization of the C and N atoms in each species. c. How many bonds and how many bonds are in each species? d. Is the ring in melamine planar? e. There are three different CN bond distances in dicyandiamide, NCNC(NH2)2, and the molecule is nonlinear. Of all the resonance structures you drew for this molecule, predict which should be the most important.arrow_forward
