Concept Introduction:
The electrons present in the outermost energy level or shell is known as valence electrons. These electrons are available for bonding and outermost shell is known as valence shell.
(b)
Interpretation:

- a. Use bond energies (see Table 3-3) to estimate H for the reaction of two molecules of glycine to form a peptide linkage. b. Would you predict S to favor the formation of peptide linkages between two molecules of glycine? c. Would you predict the formation of proteins to be a spontaneous process?arrow_forward6. Which of the following structure(s) is/are chiral? Br Br Br 1 Br 2 Br Br 3 Br Br 4arrow_forwardSelect the bonds in the 3D representation of methyl urethane below that are multiple bonds. (Hint: Consider the number of bonds attached to an atom in the image compared to the normal valence of that atom. In a valid structure, the number of bonds to an atom will equal the valence of that atom.) • Gray = C: white = H; red = 0; blue = N; dark green = Cl; brown = Br; light green = F; purple = 1; yellow = S: orange = P. • Double click to select bonds.

- A particular allotrope of nitrogen, N4, was first detected in 2002. (Allotrope just means a chemical form in which an element can exist. Oxygen, for example, has two allotropes on earth: O2 and O3.) The all-nitrogen compound only lasts a short while before breaking down to N2. The compound cannot be isolated, so its structure is not yet confirmed experimentally; we can only hypothesize what its bonding and shape are. This allotrope is generally believed to be either a single ring of four nitrogens or a single chain of four nitrogens. 2. Assign formal charges to each atom in both structures.
