Question
Chapter 1.8, Problem 22P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The conversion of given condensed structure of lactic acid to a Lewis structure is to be stated.
Concept introduction: To convert a condensed structure into Lewis structure, one should start from the left side and make sure that each carbon atom must be tetravalent. Also, give two lone pairs on each oxygen atom to have a complete octet.

Structural isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula, but different bonding arrangements or connectivities. In other words, the atoms are connected in a different order. For example, there are 2 different compounds with the molecular formula C4H10. They are given below: H H-C- H -H H H HHH H- H H-C -H Η ΗΗ H H Do you see how the atoms are bonded in a different order in the 2 structures? So they are structural isomers. C3H12 Find three different molecular structures, isomers, with this formula. (Hint: Remember the C rule where every C atom needs to have 4 bonds.)

- Use this condensed chemical structure to complete the table below.arrow_forwardThese two different C2H6O compounds are called structural (or constitutional) isomers - compounds with the same molecular formula but with different connections among their constituent atoms. If you must break and make new bonds in order to convert one structure into the other (not simply rotate the model around), then they are structural isomers. The concept of isomers is very important in organic chemistry and biochemistry. This is also another instance where condensed formulas can be very useful because they can help you distinguish two isomers apart even when you don't have models. Exercise 8) Can your models be interconverted by rotating bonds, or must the bonds be broken first? What does that mean about these two structures?arrow_forwardADVANCED MATERIAL Interpreting condensed chemical structures Use this condensed chemical structure to complete the table below.
