Chapter 16, Problem 16.27P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The comparison between C=O and C=C with respect to geometry is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

A double bond is said to be formed between two atoms when these atoms share two electrons to form a covalent bond. The hybridization of doubly bonded carbon atom is sp2 and the shape is trigonal planer. The geometry of a molecule refers to the three dimensional arrangement of the atoms constituting the given molecule.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The comparison between C=O and C=C with respect to polarity is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

A double bond is said to be formed between two atoms when these atoms share two electrons to form a covalent bond. The hybridization of doubly bonded carbon atom is sp2 and the shape is trigonal planer. The bond polarity refers to the accumulation of the electron density towards one end which is more electronegative thus, causing the more electronegative end to carry slightly more negative charge, while the other end from which the withdrawal of electron density takes place carry a little positive charge.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The comparison between C=O and C=C with respect to type of reaction is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Functional group refers to the atoms or small group of atoms that can exhibit characteristic reaction when treated with certain chemical reagents. A particular functional group will always show a characteristic chemical behavior when present in different compounds.
