Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

To assign the oxidation number for each of the elements present in the given compound.

Concept Introduction:

Oxidation number or oxidation state of an atom in a molecule is the positive or the negative charge that an atom would have possessed if the compound would have been ionic. There are many rules for assigning the oxidation state to the given atom in a molecule. Some of them are:

  1. The oxidation state of Group 1 elements is taken to be +1.
  2. The oxidation state of Group 2 elements is taken to be +2.
  3. The oxidation state of oxygen is always -2 in most of the compounds except peroxides.
  4. Oxidation state of halogens is taken to be -1 usually.
  5. The oxidation state of hydrogen is taken to be -1 when bonded to metals and +1 when bonded to non-metals.
  6. Any element when present in its elemental form has zero oxidation state.
  7. The oxidation state of Fluorine is taken to be -1 except when present in elemental state (F2).
  8. The sum of oxidation states of all the atoms present in a given molecule is equal to zero.
  9. In case of ions, the sum of oxidation state is equal to the total charge carried by the polyatomic ion.

This organic molecule is dissolved in a basic aqueous solution: O ? olo RET A short time later sensitive infrared spectroscopy reveals the presence of a new C-OH stretch absorption. That is, there Ar must now be a new molecule present with at least one C - OH bond. In the drawing area below, show the detailed mechanism that could convert the molecule above into the new molecule. $ Add/Remove step
So the thing is im trying to memorize VESPR Shapes in order to be able to solve problems like so, and I need help with making circles like the second image that's in blue or using an x and y axis plane in order to memorize these and be able to solve those type of problems. Especially like the ones given in the top / first image. (180 , 120 , 109.5) Can you help me with this.
