Chapter 3, Problem 3.36P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The total number of σ bonds and the total number of π bonds in levomenol (Problem 3.34) is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Every single bond is a σ bond. Each double bond is composed of one π bond and one σ bond. Each triple bond is composed of two π bond and one σ bond.

The unsaturation number or degree of unsaturation (U) can be used to determine the number of rings and multiple bonds in a compound from its molecular formula. Given a structure, you can determine the number of hydrogens without having to count them explicitly. Consider three compounds and their degree of unsaturation. (a) A compound A has the molecular formula C7H13ClN2OC7⁢H13⁢ClN2O. How many rings and/or π bonds does it contain?
6) Tell what kinds of orbitals on each atom overlap to form the carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds.
Levomenol, a naturally occurring sesquiterpene alcohol, has a sweet-smelling aroma and has been used as a component in fragrances. It also is known to have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Determine the electron geometry, hybridization, and molecular geometry for each nonhydrogen atom in levomenol.
