(a)
Interpretation:
All non-hydrogen atoms that are required to be in the same plane for Adenine are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
According to the VSEPR theory, if an atom is surrounded by three electron groups, either three bonds or two bonds and one lone pair, then the geometry of such an atom is trigonal planar, and thus, it must be

Interpretation:
All non-hydrogen atoms that are required to be in the same plane for Cytosine are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
According to the VSEPR theory, if an atom is surrounded by three electron groups, either three bonds or two bonds and one lone pair, then the geometry of such an atom is trigonal planar, and thus, it must be

- Draw the valence bond diagram representing chemical bonding in the molecule of HCONH2 , showing atomic and hybridized orbitals as boxes, valence electrons as arrows in the boxes, and chemical bonds as lines connecting the boxes. Note that the lone pair on N occupies an unhybridized 2p orbital due to the contribution of resonance structure.arrow_forwardcarbon is the master of hybridization, name 3 different compounds that showcase 3 different hybridization variants in the carbon atom. Include compond names, lewis diagram and the hybridization of the carbon atom. For each of the following compounds draw the lewis diagram. Include VSEPR family, the VSEPR shape? Determine the color of light emitted from an electron in a hydrogen atom that falls from n = 6 to n = 2.arrow_forwardWhat exactly is meant by the term "homogeneous structure"?arrow_forward
- For the indicated atoms, what is their hybridization? In what orbital do the lone pairs reside?arrow_forwardThe hydrogen molecular ion, H2+, can be detected spectroscopically. Write the electron configuration of the ion in molecular orbital terms. What is the bond order of the ion? Is the hydrogen-hydrogen bond stronger or weaker in H2+ than in H2? Electron configuration = Bond order Hydrogen-hydrogen bond is in H2 than in H2+. Drag and drop your selection from the following list to complete the answer: 1 (T1,) 2 (T1,)" * (01,)? 1sarrow_forwardHow can the VSEPR model be used to predict the hybridization of an atom in a molecule? Answer by selecting all true statements. O The bonding orientation predicted by the VSEPR model matches the orientation predicted using hybrid orbitals. O For a given atom in a molecule, the number of non-bonding electron domains predicted by the VSEPR model translates into the same number of hybrid orbitals. O The shape of the electron domains around the central atom is used to predict the hybridization of the atom. O Once the number of electron domains has been correctly predicted from the VSEPR model, only one type of hybrid orbital set will "match". eTextbook and Media Hint Save for Later Last saved 1 minute ago.

- 5) Identify the hybridization of the carbon atom in formaldehyde, H2C=Oarrow_forwardis there any line structure explanation of this?arrow_forwardBoth the HCH and HCO bond angles of H2CO (formaldehyde) are very close to 120°, but oneis slightly smaller than the other. Predict which is smaller, and explain your reasoning.arrow_forward
- Use the VSEPR model to predict the bond angles around each central atom in the following Lewis structures (benzene rings are frequently pictured as hexagons, without the letter for the carbon atom at each vertex). Note that the drawings do not necessarily depict the bond angles correctly.arrow_forwardThere are two compounds with the molecular formula HN3. One is called hydrogen azide; the other is cyclotriazene. (a) Write the Lewis structure for each compound. (b) Designate the hybridization of each nitrogen in hydrogen azide. (c) What is the hybridization of each nitrogen in cyclotriazene? (d) How many sigma bonds are in hydrogen azide? In cyclotriazene? (e) How many pi bonds are in hydrogen azide? In cyclotriazene? (f) Give approximate values for the N-to-N-to-N bond angles in each molecule.arrow_forwardDetermine the molecular geometry and polarity of hydroxylamine (NH2OH), formaldehyde (CH2O), and formaldoxime (H2CNOH). Justify your deductions. Is there a difference between reactants and products for both features?.arrow_forward
