For the given molecular formula C4H100 write any structure representing: A. a primary alcohol B. a secondary alcohol C. a tertiary alcohol D. an ether
Electronic Effects
The effect of electrons that are located in the chemical bonds within the atoms of the molecule is termed an electronic effect. The electronic effect is also explained as the effect through which the reactivity of the compound in one portion is controlled by the electron repulsion or attraction producing in another portion of the molecule.
Drawing Resonance Forms
In organic chemistry, resonance may be a mental exercise that illustrates the delocalization of electrons inside molecules within the valence bond theory of octet bonding. It entails creating several Lewis structures that, when combined, reflect the molecule's entire electronic structure. One Lewis diagram cannot explain the bonding (lone pair, double bond, octet) elaborately. A hybrid describes a combination of possible resonance structures that represents the entire delocalization of electrons within the molecule.
Using Molecular Structure To Predict Equilibrium
Equilibrium does not always imply an equal presence of reactants and products. This signifies that the reaction reaches a point when reactant and product quantities remain constant as the rate of forward and backward reaction is the same. Molecular structures of various compounds can help in predicting equilibrium.
Please solve part B
Alcohol is a type of organic compound that contains a hydrocarbon portion attached directly to a polar protic -OH group. There are four types of alcohol: (1) methanol, (2) primary alcohol, (3) secondary alcohol, and (4) tertiary alcohol.
The -OH group in alcohol remains attached to 10, 20 and 30 carbon in primary, secondary and tertiary alcohol respectively.
Ether is another type of organic molecule in which one oxygen atom is attached to two hydrocarbon groups.
