Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The shape around the carbon in ethanol along with it is polar or non-polar is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The polar bond is formed between the two unlike atoms having electronegative difference ranges from 0.5-1.9. The polar bond represents the arrow towards the high electronegative element, while the tail towards the low electronegative element. The negative sign is given to the high electronegative element while a positive sign is given to the low electronegative element.
(b)
Interpretation:
The shape around the carbon in acetaldehyde along with it is polar or non-polar is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The polar bond is formed between the two unlike atoms having electronegative difference ranges from 0.5-1.9. The polar bond represents the arrow towards the high electronegative element, while the tail towards the low electronegative element. The negative sign is given to the high electronegative element while a positive sign is given to the low electronegative element.

- We have thus far determined the single bond connectivity for (CH, ),CO as: H Н—с—с-—с—н H H There are six valence electrons still unaccounted. Carbon must form four bonds in order to satisfy the octet rule. Add a bond to carbon and fill in the remaining missing electrons. Select Draw Rings More H H. H H Harrow_forward5. Salicylic acid (shown below) is a polyfunctional molecule (contains more than one functional group.) Circle and identify the functional groups on salicylic acid. Salicylic acid can react with ethanoic acid (acetic acid) to form aspirin. It can also react with ethanol to form ethyl salicylate, a compound with a minty smell used in perfume and artificial flavors. Draw out structures to illustrate each of these reactions, Discuss how these two reactions are similar and how they are different.
