Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Whether the molecular formula is from the given ball and stick model to be determined. The structural formula and the line structure are to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Organic molecules are generally represented by molecular formula, ball and stick model, structural formula, condensed structural formula, and line structures.
A molecular formula represents the number of atoms of each element present in a molecule of the compound. The structural formula represents the order in which all the atoms are arranged. In the structural formula, each and every bond between atoms are shown using a line. In a condensed structural formula, no bonds are shown.
Line structures are based on structural formula in which the symbols for carbon and hydrogen atoms are not shown and the bonds between atoms are represented by a line. The intersection and the ends of the line represent carbon atoms. The bond between carbon and hydrogen atoms is not shown.
In a ball and stick model, the atoms are represented using balls and sticks are used to represent bonds.

- 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
