(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The most polar bond in the molecule has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

The unequal distribution of shared electrons caused by differences in electronegativity between bonded atoms is called bond polarity.

Dipole moment: It is the measure of the charge separation that is describes the polar in the bond between the two atoms.

Electronegativity: It is defined as the capacity of the atom to abstract the pair of electrons towards itself results to have high negative charge.

During our lectures on polymeric materials, I used polyethylene as an example because of its very straightforward structure. (a.) Ethylene (C2H4) is a colorless flammable gas. Draw a diagram to show what a single molecule of this gas looks like. Show all bonds with the following symbol (—). Recall that the bonds are highly covalent in nature.

Calculate the Enthalpy Change (ΔH) from average bond energies, which have been listed below in KJ/mol, for the following reaction and identify the nature of the reaction: CH3COOH + CH3OH → CH3COOCH3 + H2O [C‒H: 413; C‒C: 347; C=O: 745; C=C: 614; Cl‒Cl: 239, C‒O: 358; O‒H: 467]
