Chapter 4, Problem 48P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: All the functional groups needs to be identified and the partial charges for three steroids needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:A functional group in an organic compound is an atom or a group that represents and shows properties of a family (such as OH group). The two atoms bonded together can have partial charges if there is electronegativity difference between the atoms. The shared pair of electrons in the bond are more towards electronegative atom thus, it gets a partial negative charge.
