(a)
Interpretation:
Interpret and match the lewis structure (a) with the correct diagram from 1,2 or 3. Write down the name of shape and indicate whether it is polar or non-polar.
Concept Introduction:
The shape of molecule is decided by counting the lone pair of electrons along with bond pair and thus the shape of molecule is decided. Shape of molecule can be decided as:
Bond pair | Lone pair | Geometry of molecule |
2 | 0 | Linear |
3 | 0 | Trigonal planar |
2 | 1 | Bent |
4 | 0 | Tetrahedral |
3 | 1 | Trigonal pyramidal |
2 | 2 | Bent |
5 | 0 | Trigonal bipyramidal |
4 | 1 | See saw |
3 | 2 | T shaped |
2 | 3 | Linear |
6 | 0 | Octahedral |
4 | 2 | Square planar |
(b)

- Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution: What is the product of the reaction? *see imagearrow_forwardShow the correct sequence to connect the reagent to product. * see imagearrow_forwardThe answer here says that F and K have a singlet and a doublet. The singlet and doublet are referring to the H's 1 carbon away from the carbon attached to the OH. Why don't the H's two carbons away, the ones on the cyclohexane ring, cause more peaks on the signal?arrow_forward
- Draw the Birch Reduction for this aromatic compound and include electron withdrawing groups and electron donating groups. *See attachedarrow_forwardShow the correct sequence to connect the reagent to product. * see imagearrow_forwardBlocking Group are use to put 2 large sterically repulsive group ortho. Show the correct sequence toconnect the reagent to product with the highest yield possible. * see imagearrow_forward
