Chapter 7, Problem 13CTQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The cyclic alkane which is most commonly found in nature needs to be determined and explained.

Concept Introduction: The stability of the cyclic alkane depends on the ring strain energy. For cyclic alkanes with large ring strain energies, the stability is least. In cyclic alkane, all the carbon atoms are sp3 hybridized thus, the geometry around the carbon atom present in ring is tetrahedral with C-C bond angle 109.5o.

1) In this problem, you will compare Lewis/VSEPR theory and Covalent Bond theory to experimental data. The experimental photoelectron data for Ne, HF, H.O, NH,, and CH. are shown below. Photoelectron spectroscopy measures the filled Orbitals of a molecule. For each molecule, draw the structure using Lewis formalisms and give the geometry using VSEPR structure. Answer questions regarding Lewis/VSEPR prediction using this structure combined with your assigned point group for the structure. 10 18 NH3 CH₂ H₂O Ne 26 HF 34 Ionisation energy (eV) Neon a) Draw the Lewis/VSEPR structure for Ne. 42 b) How many separate electron energy levels does the Lewis/VSEPR structure predict? c) Write down the electron configuration for Neon. d) For each major feature observed in the spectrum, give the energy of the transition and assign the orbital(s) from which the electron comes.
So I cant see any of the answers on section 4.41 D, F, G In the Organic Chemistry: Principles And Mechanisms (second Edition) 2nd Edition Textbook. Would you be able to just send me the answers and images. I have already done them and I am practicing for class but I dont know if I am correct.
a) Draw Lewis structures for each of the compounds below. Be sure to show all bonding and non-bonding valence electrons. Also, clearly indicate any formal charges on atoms. b) Consider the molecular geometry information given for each compound below: based on this information, specify the orbitals that each atom could use in σ- and à-bonding (sp², sp³, p, etc.) and for holding non-bonding electron pairs. Explain how your orbital assignments are consistent with the observed geometries. H₂CO (formaldehyde) HCO-angle 120⁰ CH3CO₂ (acetate anion) HCC-angle ≈ 109⁰ CCO-angle OCO≈ 120° DCH=CHBr(1-bromo-2-deuterioethylene) (two isomers) (all atoms are coplanar) (CH3)2SO (dimethylsulfoxide, DMSO) HCS-angle CSO CSC≈ 109⁰ ≈
