Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Lone pair of electrons present on nitrogen atom in the given structure has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Lone pair of electrons are the pair of valence electrons that are not involved in bonding with other atoms. These are also called as non-bonding pair. Formal charge and lone pair of electrons are more important in representing a correct structure. If we know the formal charge on an atom, the lone pair of electrons can be found and vice-versa. The simple convention is to ignore the lone pairs and always show the formal charge. To find the lone pair of electrons present on an atom, few steps has to be followed and they are listed below,
- Valence electron of an atom has to be found according to the periodic table.
- Formal charge on the atom has to be considered. Positive charge means one electron less and a negative charge means one electron is more.
- The difference between the valence electron and the formal charge gives the lone pair of electrons that is present.
If the compound contains nitrogen atom and there is no formal charge present on the nitrogen atom means it will have three bonds and one lone pair of electron.
If the nitrogen atom has a formal positive charge means, then the nitrogen atom will have four bonds and no lone pair of electrons.
If the nitrogen atom has a formal negative charge means, then the nitrogen atom will have two bonds and two lone pair of electrons.

- Hi!! Please provide a solution that is handwritten. Ensure all figures, reaction mechanisms (with arrows and lone pairs please!!), and structures are clearly drawn to illustrate the synthesis of the product as per the standards of a third year organic chemistry course. ****the solution must include all steps, mechanisms, and intermediate structures as required. Please hand-draw the mechanisms and structures to support your explanation. Don’t give me AI-generated diagrams or text-based explanations, no wordy explanations on how to draw the structures I need help with the exact mechanism hand drawn by you!!! I am reposting this—ensure all parts of the question are straightforward and clear or please let another expert handle it thanks!!arrow_forwardHi!! Please provide a solution that is handwritten.

- Which carbocation is more stable?arrow_forwardAre the products of the given reaction correct? Why or why not?arrow_forwardThe question below asks why the products shown are NOT the correct products. I asked this already, and the person explained why those are the correct products, as opposed to what we would think should be the correct products. That's the opposite of what the question was asking. Why are they not the correct products? A reaction mechanism for how we arrive at the correct products is requested ("using key intermediates"). In other words, why is HCl added to the terminal alkene rather than the internal alkene?arrow_forward

An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode of a galvanic cell that must provide at least 1.10 V of electrical power. The cell will operate under standard conditions. Note for advanced students: assume the engineer requires this half-reaction to happen at the anode of the cell. Is there a minimum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have? If so, check the "yes" box and calculate the minimum. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. If there is no lower limit, check the "no" box.. Is there a maximum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have? If so, check the "yes" box and calculate the maximum.
