Question
Chapter 7, Problem 21CTQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: From the given set of molecules, the one with lower potential energy needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: The molecule with lowest potential energy is most stable. In the chair conformation of the cyclohexane, the stable conformation is when large groups are present in the equatorial positions. The equatorial positions in the chair conformation points away from the ring thus, there is less steric hinderance.

2) 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 about
3. In your own words explain the relationship between molecular structure and color, and explain why lutein
is yellow/orange, while most organic molecules (ex. sugar, aspirin, amino acids, etc.) are colorless/white.

- Which is the correct 3D representation of lactic acid or are they just the same?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_forward10. Build a model of CHBRCIF.

The structure on the right is a ß-lactam, which is the center of the molecule on the left. Bacterial resistance to penicillins, including amoxicillin, involves an enzyme called B- lactamase, which exploits two of the principles we have covered thusfar: functional group reactivity and ring strain. Using the simplified structure on the right, explain a. Why the functional group might attract a nucleophile/Lewis base (such as water)? b.
