Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:The given skeletal structure of amoxicillin needs to be completed.
Concept Introduction: Single bond has all sigma bonds; double bond has 1 sigma and 1 pi bond and triple bond has 2 sigma and 1 pi bond. The lone pair of electrons are those electrons which do not take part in bonding. Generally, carbon has zero lone pair, oxygen has 2 lone pairs, sulfur has 2 lone pairs and nitrogen has 1 lone pair of electrons.
(b)
Interpretation:The hybridization and geometry of each central atom in the given structure needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: Hybridization is defined as mixing of orbital. The geometry of a central atom depends on its hybridization. The shape will be different from geometry if there are lone pair of electrons present on the central atom.
(c)
Interpretation:The bond angles associated with each central atom needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: The bond angles of central atom can be determined from its hybridization and geometry.
(d)
Interpretation:The most polar bond in amoxicillin needs to be detremined.
Concept Introduction: A bond is said to be polar if there is electronegativity difference between the atoms.
(e)
Interpretation:The amoxicilllin needs to be classified as a polar or non-polar molecule.
Concept Introduction: If there are polar bonds present in a molecule then it is considered as a polar molecule.
(f)
Interpretation:Whether amoxicillin expected to possess resonance or not needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction: Resonance is possessed by a molecule if there is possibility of delocalization of electrons. This can be positive if there is intercation between alternate lone pairs and pi bonds present in a molecule.

- hat does it mean to say that a bond is polar? Give two examples of molecules with polar bonds. Indicate in your examples the direction of the polarity.arrow_forwardAccording to the VSEPR model, what are the arrangements of two, three, four, five, and six valence-shell electron pairs about an atom?arrow_forward2. Consider the following molecules or ions: CIOF5, NOBr, NH2F, and XeO2F3+. Answer the following questions based on the Lewis structures and VSEPR theory prediction of their molecular shapes. (a) Which one has only bond angles of 109.5°? (b) Which one has only bond angles of 120°? (c) Which one has bond angles of 90 and 180°? (d) Which one has bond angles of 90, 120, and 180°?arrow_forward

(c) Given the information that resonating electrons are delocalized and so are not used to determine VSEPR geometry, how will the table you filled in for 3.(b) change?arrow_forward
- How do you know when to draw a solid wedge vs a dashed wedge when drawing 3D bond-line structures? I know that solid-wedge means the atom is pointing towards you and dashed wedge means it's in the back, but how do you know which atoms are in the front as opposed to the back? How can you tell what the configuration will look like in space just by looking at the lewis structure or name?arrow_forwardWhich of the following Lewis dot structures is a valid Lewis structure?
