Chapter 18, Problem 18.42SP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molecular structure of H2Se has to be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory:

The shape or structure of a molecule is determined by the repulsion between the entire electrons present in the valence shell.

Bond pairs and lone pairs in the molecule repel each other therefore the electron clouds stay apart as possible to reduce the repulsion and so to increase the stability.

The amount of repulsion can be ordered as follows,

LP-LP>LP-BP>BP-BP

In order to determine the shape, the Lewis diagram must be drawn first.

You are trying to decide if there is a single reagent you can add that will make the following synthesis possible without any other major side products: xi 1. ☑ 2. H₂O хе i Draw the missing reagent X you think will make this synthesis work in the drawing area below. If there is no reagent that will make your desired product in good yield or without complications, just check the box under the drawing area and leave it blank. Click and drag to start drawing a structure. There is no reagent that will make this synthesis work without complications. : ☐ S ☐
Predict the major products of this organic reaction: H OH 1. LiAlH4 2. H₂O ? Note: be sure you use dash and wedge bonds when necessary, for example to distinguish between major products with different stereochemistry. Click and drag to start drawing a structure. G C टे
For each reaction below, decide if the first stable organic product that forms in solution will create a new C-C bond, and check the appropriate box. Next, for each reaction to which you answered "Yes" to in the table, draw this product in the drawing area below. Note for advanced students: for this problem, don't worry if you think this product will continue to react under the current conditions - just focus on the first stable product you expect to form in solution. NH2 CI MgCl ? Will the first product that forms in this reaction create a new CC bond? Yes No MgBr ? Will the first product that forms in this reaction create a new CC bond? Yes No G टे
