To determine:
The hybridization of orbitals at each carbon atom in polyethylene and the angles between the bonds.
(b)
To determine:
The structure of polypropylene in which the methyl groups lie on the same side of the plane of paper; one in which methyl groups lie on alternating sides of plane; the structure in which methyl groups are randomly distributed on the either side; the form that will have highest crystallinity and melting point; and which has the lowest crystallinity and melting point and explanation in terms of intermolecular interactions and molecular shapes.

- Part IV. C6H5 CH2CH2OH is an aromatic compound which was subjected to Electron Ionization - mass spectrometry (El-MS) analysis. Prominent m/2 values: m/2 = 104 and m/2 = 9) was obtained. Draw the structures of these fragments.arrow_forwardFor each reaction shown below follow the curved arrows to complete each equationby showing the structure of the products. Identify the acid, the base, the conjugated acid andconjugated base. Consutl the pKa table and choose the direciton theequilibrium goes. However show the curved arrows. Please explain if possible.arrow_forwardA molecule shows peaks at 1379, 1327, 1249, 739 cm-1. Draw a diagram of the energy levels for such a molecule. Draw arrows for the possible transitions that could occur for the molecule. In the diagram imagine exciting an electron, what are its various options for getting back to the ground state? What process would promote radiation less decay? What do you expect for the lifetime of an electron in the T1 state? Why is phosphorescence emission weak in most substances? What could you do to a sample to enhance the likelihood that phosphorescence would occur over radiationless decay?arrow_forward
- Please correct answer and don't use hand ratingarrow_forwardThe SN 1 mechanism starts with the rate-determining step which is the dissociation of the alkyl halide into a carbocation and a halide ion. The next step is the rapid reaction of the carbocation intermediate with the nucleophile; this step completes the nucleophilic substitution stage. The step that follows the nucleophilic substitution is a fast acid-base reaction. The nucleophile now acts as a base to remove the proton from the oxonium ion from the previous step, to give the observed product. Draw a curved arrow mechanism for the reaction, adding steps as necessary. Be sure to include all nonzero formal charges.
