- Formamide, HC(O)NH2, is prepared at high pressures from carbon monoxide and ammonia, and serves as an industrial solvent (the parentheses around the O indicate that it is bonded only to the carbon atom and that the carbon atom is also bonded to the H and the N atoms). Two resonance forms (one with formal charges) can be written for formamide. Write both resonance structures, and predict the bond angles about the carbon and nitrogen atoms for each resonance form. Are they the same?

- The concept of valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) is presented in introductory organic chemistry as a way to predict molecular geometries. The idea be- hind VSEPR is that areas of electron density repel each other so that the geometry of bonds and/or lone pairs of electrons around any one atom places these areas as far apart as possible. For four areas of electron density, a tetrahedral geometry is predicted. For three areas of electron density, a trigonal planar geometry is predicted. Two areas of electron density lead to a linear geometry. VSEPR is simply a predictive tool, but in some cases, it gives an incorrect prediction. In these instances, additional insights into bonding are necessary, such as resonance. Interestingly, several important situations are critical to biochemistry where VSEPR breaks down. Two examples are shown here. :O: CH3 H,N H3N CH3 H :0: :0: Histidine The circled nitrogen atoms are predicted by VSEPR to be tetrahedral in geometry because each…arrow_forwardDraw the lewis dot structure for two different isomers for C2H5N.
