- Methylcyanoacrylate is the active ingredient in super glues. Its Lewis structure is (a) Give values for the three bond angles indicated. (b) Indicate the most polar bond in the molecule. (c) Circle the shortest carbon-oxygen bond. (d) Circle the shortest carbon-carbon bond.arrow_forwardMake the following comparisons about the molecules shown next, and briefly explain your choices. Which molecule has the longer Al-C bond distance?arrow_forward) Bean hexene is an odor compound used in cosmetics and cleaners. It is also known as leguminal. Its formula is: CH3CH2CHCHCH2CH2OCHCH2CH3 | OCH3 Please draw a Lewis structure for this compound with CORRECT GEOMETRY (use dashes and wedges!) Label all pi bonds in the molecule (if there are any) Indicate the bond angles for the red highlighted section of the molecule. (hint: you may want to keep the main carbon chain in-plane with the page for clarity) For this question, you don’t need to draw out the orbitals.arrow_forward
- What is the shape and bond angle for tetrahedral shape, 120 bond angle tetrahedral shape, 109.5 bond angle tetrahedral shape, 90 bond angle pyramidal, 120 bond angle pyramidal, 109.5 bond angle trigonal planar, 120 bond angle trigonal planar, 109.5 bond angle C :Ö :Ö:S:O: :0:0:0: 2-arrow_forwardDraw a Lewis structure for a compound with molecular formula C4H11N in which three of the carbon atoms are bonded to the nitrogen atom. What is the geometry of the nitrogen atom in this compound? Does this compound exhibit a molecular dipole moment? If so, indicate the direction of the dipole moment.arrow_forwardDepending on the protein under study, the bond angle of a drug molecule can become critical to successfully deactivating a viral protein. For this reason, chemists are frequently concerned with the 3D shape of their molecules and their bond angles. The oxygen atom shown in the structure has a tetrahedral electronic geometry, meaning we would predict that it would have 109.5° bond angles. However, the actual structure, the bond angles are smaller than 109.5°. Explain why this compression occurs. Make sure to discuss what’s happening around/what groups are present around the oxygen atom.arrow_forward
- Vanillin, the molecular structure above, is an interesting organic molecule. From the structure, answer the following questions and post them in the indicated submission box. What is the molecular formula of this compound? How many functional groups does this molecule have? Write the names of all the functional groups present in vanillin. Write the line-bond structures of all the functional groups present in vanillin. What orbitals are involved in forming the following bonds in vanillin? C=O O-CH3 C=C O-Harrow_forwardExplain the following observations about two carbon-oxygen bonds in the methane (formate) anion, HCO2-. You may draw a Lewis electron-dot diagram (or diagrams) of methanoate ion as part of your explanations. i. The two carbon-oxygen bonds in the methanoate(formate) anion, HCO2-, have the same length. ii.the length of the carbon-oxygen bonds in the methanoate(formate) anion, HCO2-, is intermediate between the length of the carbon-oxygen bond in methanol and the length of the carbon-oxygen bond in methanal.arrow_forward6) Explain how o and a bonds are similar and how they are different. A) Differences: o bonds are stronger and result from end- to -end overlap and all single bonds are o bonds; a bonds between the same two atoms are weaker because they result from side-by-side overlap, and multiple bonds contain one or more bonds (in addition to a o bond). B) Similarities: Both types of bonds result from overlap of atomic orbitals on adjacent atoms. C) Both A and B are correctarrow_forward
- What orbitals are used to form each of the C–C and C – H bonds in CH3CH2CH3 (propane)? How many σ bonds are present in this molecule?arrow_forwardUse this condensed chemical structure to complete the table below.
