Chapter 2, Problem 44P

Consider each of the following molecules in turn: (a) dimethyl ether, ( CH 3 ) 2 O ; (b) trimethylamine, ( CH 3 ) 2 N ; (c) trimethylboron, ( CH 3 ) 2 B ; and (d) carbon dioxide ( CO 2 ) . Describe the hybridization state of the central atom (i.e., O, N, B, or C) of each molecule, tell what bond angles you would expect at the central atom, and state whether the molecule would have a dipole moment.

Acetic acid can be made by the oxidation of acetaldehyde (CH;CHO). Molecules of acetaldehyde have a -CH; group, an oxygen atom, and a hydrogen atom attached to a carbon atom. Draw the Lewis diagram for this molecule, give the hybridization of each carbon atom, and describe the T orbitals and the number of electrons that occupy each one. Draw the three-dimensional structure of the molecule, showing all angles.
(c) If we replace the hydrogen atoms in ammonia with the ethyl moieties (C2H5)3– N), there is no change in the hybridization of central oxygen atom, yet they have different bond angles, Why? Which molecule has lower bond angle? Give reasons to support your answer.
