- Specify whether the two structures are resonance contributors to the same resonance hybrid. Be sure to explain your reasoning. If yes, be sure to specify which is preferred and why. H2C=NH2arrow_forwardIn the following pair, determine whether the two represent resonance contributors of a single species or depict different substances. If two structures are not resonance contributors, explain why. Select the single best answer. :N-N=N: and :N-N=N: The two structures are resonance contributors of the same species. The two structures are not resonance contributors because they contain different numbers of electrons. The two structures are not resonance contributors because they contain different bond orders. The two structures are not resonance contributors because they contain bond orders having integer values. The two structures are not resonance contributors because each structure is present in its most stable (lowest energy) configuration.arrow_forwardList the bond lenghts between the carbon and the oxygen atoms for the carboxylic acid and carboxylate ion and rank from shortest to longest. carboxylic acid carboxylate ion c-o c=o provide an explanation for the differences in the bond lengths and the orientation of the dipole moment between the acid and ion.arrow_forward
- Select 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. You can zoom in and out using the mouse scroll wheel (or pinch to zoom on touch screens). ●arrow_forwardMethyl isocyanate, CH3 -N= C = O, is used in the industrial synthesis of a type of pesticide and herbicide known as a carbamate. As a historical note, an industrial accident in Bhopal, India, in 1984 resulted in leakage of an unknown quantity of this chemical into the air. An estimated 200,000 people were exposed to its vapors, and over 2000 of these people died. Q.) Write a Lewis structure for methyl isocyanate and predict its bond angles. What is the hybridization of its carbonyl carbon? Of its nitrogen atom?arrow_forwardRank the following in order of decreasing importance as contributing structures to the resonance hybrid of formaldehyde, H₂CO. :0: Multiple Choice I>>||| I> ||| > | #>I> | 11 E III 200arrow_forward
- Rank the following compounds in order of decreasing dipole moment. H H H H O|||||| O|||||II || 1>||| O I>II>III H ||| ||||arrow_forwardLike several other bonds, carbon-oxygen bonds have lengths and strengths that depend on the bond order. Draw Lewis structures for the following species, and arrange them in order of increasing carbon-oxygen bond strength. (Indicate the order with the numbers from the drop-down list, starting with 1 for the compound with the smallest bond strength to 5 for the compound with the largest bond strength.)

Use Lewis structures and bond ener-gies to determine ΔH°ᵣₓₙ for HCN(g)+2H₂(g)→CH₃NH₂(g)arrow_forwardDoxorubicin, shown here, is an important chemotherapy drug used to treat avariety of cancers, including bladder cancer, breast cancer, and certain forms of leukemia. Doxorubicin works by binding to DNA in such a way that a portion of it penetrates the DNA double helix— a process called intercalation. During transcription— the process that forms RNA— portions of the DNA strands are temporarily separated for the base sequence to be read and then are reconnected. With bound doxorubicin, however, the double helix does not reform properly after the strands are separated, which disrupts replication— the process that forms an identical copy of DNA. Which portion of doxorubicin do you think intercalates into the DNA double helix, and why do you think it has little difficulty doing so?arrow_forward
