Chapter 17, Problem 17.13P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The hybridization of each $\text{N}$ atom in quinine is to be identified.

Concept introduction: The molecular formula of quinine is ${\text{C}}_{\text{20}}{\text{H}}_{\text{24}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}$. It is used as anti malarial drug. It is also a mild antipyretic and analgesic.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The type of orbital where the lone pair on each $\text{N}$ atom is to be identified.

Concept introduction: The molecular formula of quinine is ${\text{C}}_{\text{20}}{\text{H}}_{\text{24}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}$. It is used as ant malarial drug. It is also a mild antipyretic and analgesic.
