Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of a molecule with the formula
Concept introduction:
Hybridization of an atom in a molecule or ion is determined by the number of electron groups in its valence shell. The number of electron groups and the number of hybrid orbitals is the same.
An electron group is a lone pair or a bond. Single bond, double bond, and triple bond all are considered as a single electron group.

- Homework problem wants to different structures that have the same molecular formula but different connectivities for c5h12arrow_forwardProblem Draw a Lewis structure and identify the octet-rule exception for (a) H3PO4 (draw two resonance forms and select the more important); (b) BFCl2.Plan We draw each Lewis structure and examine it for exceptions to the octet rule.(a) The central atom is in Period 3, so it can have more than an octet.(b) The central atom is B, which can have fewer than an octet of electrons.arrow_forwardProblem Draw Lewis structures for the following:(a) Ethylene (C2H4), the most important reactant in the manufacture of polymers(b) Nitrogen (N2), the most abundant atmospheric gasPlan We show the structure resulting from steps 1 to 4: placing the atoms, counting the total valence electrons, making single bonds, and distributing the remaining valence electrons in pairs to attain octets. Then we continue with step 5, if needed.arrow_forward
- The problem is asking how many Sp3, Sp2, and Sp atoms there are and the answer key says 16 Sp3, 8 Sp2 and 2 Sp but I'm not even counting 26 carbons on this molecule so I'm a little confused.arrow_forward2) a) Consider the following molecule hybridization theory, draw an image or images explaining the bonding situation in this molecule. I want you to draw out all of the orbitals, hybrid orbitals and how they overlap to form the bonds in the molecule. Indicate the % s or p character in the given atomic and hybrid orbitals. Which C-C bond or bonds are the longest? In a paragraph or so explain the image or images you just drew. Given what you have learned aboutarrow_forwardLinoleic acid is an essential fatty acid found in many vegetable oils, such as soy, peanut, and cottonseed. A key structural feature of the molecule is the cis orientation around its two double bonds, where R1 and R2 represent two different groups that form the rest of the molecule. (a) How many different compounds are possible, changing only the cis-trans arrangements around these two double bonds? (b) How many are possible for a similar compound with three double bonds?arrow_forward
- a) What would the formula (CxHy) of the compound cyclobutyne be? b) What is the hybridization of the carbon atoms in the triple bond? What bond angle is this normally associated with? c) Cyclobutyne is not a stable compound and has never been observed. Suggest a reason why.arrow_forwardRizatriptan (trade name Maxalt) is a prescription drug used for the treatment of migraines. (a) How many aromatic rings does rizatriptan contain? (b) Determine the hybridization of each N atom. (c) In what type of orbital does the lone pair on each N reside? (d) Draw all the resonance structures for rizatriptan that contain only neutral atoms. (e) Draw all reasonableresonance structures for the ve-membered ring that contains three N atoms.arrow_forwardProblem What amount (mol) of each ion is in each solution?(a) 5.0 mol of ammonium sulfate dissolved in water(b) 78.5 g of cesium bromide dissolved in water(c) 7.42×1022 formula units of copper(II) nitrate dissolved in water(d) 35 mL of 0.84 M zinc chloridePlan We write an equation that shows 1 mol of compound dissociating into ions. (a) We multiply the number of moles of ions by 5.0. (b) We first convert grams to moles. (c) We first convert formula units to moles. (d) We first convert molarity and volume to moles.arrow_forward
- Butane is an unbranched alkane with the molecular formula C4H10C4H10. a) Draw the complete structure of butane. (Show all hydrogen atoms.) b) Draw the structure of butane in line-bond or skeleton mode.
