Which of these is a hydroxyl group? A large organic molecule with different functional groups. A group marked A consists of a nitrogen atom and two hydrogen atoms attached to it. A group marked B consists of a phosphorus atom with four oxygen atoms. One of these oxygen atoms is connected to the phosphorus by a double bond. All other bonds are single. Two oxygen atoms have negative charges. A group marked C consists of a carbon atom connected to an oxygen atom by a double bond. A group marked D consists of an oxygen atom connected to a hydrogen atom. The group marked E consists of a sulfur atom connected with a hydrogen atom. A group marked F consists of a carbon atom, which is connected to one oxygen atom by a double bond and the other oxygen atom by a single bond. This last mentioned oxygen atom also has a hydrogen attached. EDACF

- How many electron pairs are shared when a triple bond exists between two carbon atoms? What must he the geometric arrangement around the carbon atoms in a triple bond? Draw the Lewis structure of a simple molecule that contains a triple bond.arrow_forwardThis is done by removing an unshared pair from each of two adjacent atoms and adding one electron pair as a second bond between the atoms. Each such operation reduces the number of electrons in the trial structure by two. Removing the unshared pairs of electrons on the carbon atoms and adding a second carbon–carbon bond gives a structure in which there are four electrons involved in a double bond between the carbon atoms. The trial structure now contains electrons ____ and is correct.arrow_forwardAlkenes and alkynes react similarly to each other. Hydrogenation, halogenation, and hydration reactions are all types of addition reactions in which the reagent adds across the multiple bond of the reactant • Hydrogenation is the addition of hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst such as platinum, palladium, or nickel. • Halogenation involves a reaction with a halogen such as Cl₂ or Br₂ to produce a dihaloalkane or dihaloalkene product. Hydration reactions take place when alkenes or alkynes react with water in the presence of a strong acid catalyst to yield an alcohol. ▼ Part A Predict the product of the reaction of 1-butene with bromine.
