Concept explainers

The attractive force which has the ability of holding various constituent elements like atoms, ions, molecules, etc. together in different chemical species is termed as a chemical bond. Chemical compounds are dependent on the strength of chemical bonds b…

Polarizability In Organic Chemistry

Polarizability refers to the ability of an atom/molecule to distort the electron cloud of neighboring species towards itself and the process of distortion of electron cloud is known as polarization.

Coordinate Covalent Bonds

A coordinate covalent bond is also known as a dative bond, which is a type of covalent bond. It is formed between two atoms, where the two electrons required to form the bond come from the same atom resulting in a semi-polar bond. The study of coordinate…

Textbook Question

Chapter 4, Problem 4.54SP

Oxalic acid, H₂C₂O₄, is a mildly poisonous substance found in the leaves of rhubarb, spinach, and many other plants. (You’d have to eat about 15 lb or so of dry spinach leaves to ingest a lethal amount.) If oxalic acid has a C─C single bond and no C─H bond, draw its electron-dot structure showing lone pairs and identifying any multiple bonds.
