Chapter 9, Problem 8P
Consider hydrocarbon molecules with the formula C4Hx in which the four carbons form a linear chain. Sketch the structure and find the value of x if there are (a) no �� bonds; (b) exactly one �� bond; (c) two �� bonds, each on a different C–C pair; (d) two �� bonds on the same C–C pair; (e) three �� bonds, each on different C–C pairs; and (f) three �� bonds, two on one C–C pair and one on a different C–C pair.

The bond length in F2 is 1.417 Å, instead of twice theatomic radius of F, which is 1.28 Å. What can account forthe unexpected length of the F_ F bond?
Diatomic astatine, At2, is the rarest, heaviest, and largest of the halogens. Astatine has an atomic weight of 210 Daltons, and At2 has a bond
length of 300 pm. Use this information to determine its rotational constant, B, in units of cm-1 (you should keep only two significant figures).
(Note: 1 Dalton = 1.66053 × 10-27 kg, 1 pm = 10–12 m.)
TRUE OR FALSE
a) A double helix makes one complete turn every 10 residues (3.4nm). Therefore the distance between base pairs is 0.34nm.
b) The sugar-phosphate backbone is located on the outside of the molecule with the 2 sets of bases projecting toward the center. The phosphate groups give the molecule a (+) charge.

If one of the C-H is in the direction of A= i-hat + j-hat + k-hat and an adjacent C-H bond is at the direction B= i-hat - j-hat - k-hat results to an angular bond of approximately 109o for a static frozen molecule.
