(a)
Interpretation:
The strongest acid among the following should be identified:
CH3 OH, CH3 SH, (CH3 )2 NH.
Concept Introduction:
The acidity of any compound is higher when the compound has a higher electron withdraw or a higher proton donating capacity.
(b)
Interpretation:
The strongest base among the following should be identified:
CH3 OH, CH3 SH, (CH3 )2 NH.
Concept Introduction:
The basicity of any compound is higher when the compound has a higher electron donating ability or a higher proton accepting capacity.
(c)
Interpretation:
The compound with highest boiling point should be identified:
CH3 OH, CH3 SH, (CH3 )2 NH.
Concept Introduction:
The temperature at which the system changes its state from liquid to vapor is known as boiling point. It depends on the size and bonding within the molecules. Higher the size, higher will be the boiling point. Also, stronger the intermolecular interaction within in the compound higher will be the boiling point.
(d)
Interpretation:
The compound with the strongest intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the pure state should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
A hydrogen bond is formed when hydrogen atom bonded with an electronegative atom interacts weakly with other electronegative atom which is present in the vicinity of another electronegative atom.

- I'm having trouble with converting lewis diagrams into VSEPR diagrams. I currently have this example of C2BrCl3 which I want to turn into a lewis structure, but I'm not sure what steps I need to do in order to do so. I have the table written down, however, there's two central atoms so what would I do? There seems to be 4 electron domains on the carbon atom and no lone pairs so it would seem like this shape would be tetrahedral. Here's what I have now. Thanks!arrow_forwardWe discussed the solid phase resin using in peptide synthesis. Provide a mechanism, for its formation. DRAW THE MECHANISM.arrow_forwardPlease help. Every time I've asked an expert in the past, it's been wrong :(arrow_forward
