Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The hybridization of each nitrogen atom in methotrexate is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: Hybridization is the combination of two or more atomic orbitals to form the same number of hybrid orbitals, each having the same shape and energy. Number of groups around the atom is equal to number of the number of orbitals hybridized to give hybrid atomic orbitals.
(b)
Interpretation: The type of orbital in which the lone pair of nitrogen atom resides is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: Hybridization is the combination of two or more atomic orbitals to form the same number of hybrid orbitals, each having the same shape and energy. Number of groups around the atom is equal to number of the number of orbitals hybridized to give hybrid atomic orbitals.
(c)
Interpretation: The reason corresponding to the fact that the bicyclic ring in methotrexate is
Concept introduction: A molecule must be cyclic, planar, completely conjugated and should follow

- Under certain reaction conditions, 2,3-dibromobutane reacts with two equivalents of base to give three products, each of which contains two new p bonds. Product A has two sp hybridized carbon atoms, product B has one sp hybridized carbon atom, and product C has none. What are the structures of A, B, and C?arrow_forwarda) Classify the following compounds as aromatic, antiaromatic, or nonaromatic. Give reasons for each answer.arrow_forward(a)The concept of hybridization was first proposed by Linus Pauling in 1931, that explain about the concept of mixing orbitals to form new hybrid orbital suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds. Draw the kekule structure of a compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms that has: (1) One sp hybridize carbon, two sp? hybridized carbons and two sp hybridized carbon (ii) Two sp' hybridized carbon and two sp hybridized carbons (ii) Two sp? hybidized carbons and two sp hybydized carbonarrow_forward
