also, determine the hybridization of O(7), H(11), C(10) & C(5)

Transcribed Image Text:The image shows the molecular structure of aspirin with atoms numbered for reference. Here is a detailed explanation of the structure:
- The structure is based on a benzene ring, shown as a six-membered carbon (C) ring with alternating single and double bonds.
- Each carbon atom in the benzene ring is bonded to a hydrogen (H) atom. The hydrogens are not numbered in this depiction.
- The functional groups are as follows:
1. A carboxyl group (COOH) is attached to one carbon of the benzene ring:
- Atom 1 is a hydrogen (H).
- Atom 2 is an oxygen (O) with a double bond to the central carbon (atom 3).
- Atom 3 is the carbon (C) bonded to the benzene ring.
- Atom 4 is an oxygen (O) with a single bond to the central carbon (atom 3) and carries a lone pair of electrons.
2. An ester group (COO) is attached to the benzene ring:
- Atom 5 is part of the benzene ring and has branching atoms.
- Atom 6 is a carbon (C) that connects to atom 7.
- Atom 7 is an oxygen (O) double-bonded to atom 6.
- Atom 8 is another oxygen (O) connected to the benzene ring.
- Atom 9 is a carbon (C) bonded to atom 8 and part of the methyl group.
- Atom 10 is an oxygen (O) with a lone pair of electrons, connected to atom 9.
- Atom 11 is a hydrogen (H) bonded to the methyl group.
- Lone pairs of electrons are depicted as dots around the oxygen atoms at positions 4, 7, and 10.
This molecular configuration illustrates the basic functional components of aspirin, which is an acetylated form of salicylic acid, imparting it with its anti-inflammatory properties.
