Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The geometry around the each carbon atoms of the vinyl acetate are needed to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Molecular geometry can be predicted from the structure by using the valence-shell Electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) model.
-Count the number of valence electron pairs (bond pairs and lone pairs).
-Assume that the valence electron pairs form a structure that allows them to be as far away from each other as possible.
-If there are only two bond pair electrons, the molecule is linear.
-If there are three bond pair electrons, the molecule is shaped like a trigonal planar.
-If there are four bond pair electrons, the molecule is shaped as a regular tetrahedral.
- Repulsion between lone pair-bond pair of electrons effect the geometry of molecules.

- Casein is a biological polymer—what are the monomers of this polymer? (General term)arrow_forwardCompound P was discovered by a scientist. Compound P is a dipeptide, optically active and has the molecular formula C„H14N2O3. Compound P is formed when compound Q and compound R joined together by condensation reaction. While, monomers S and T are formed by modifying the compounds Q and R. Polymer U is formed by the condensation reaction of monomers S and T. Draw the possible structural formulae of compounds P, Q, R, S, T and U. Label the peptide bond(s) for compound P. Draw the possible structural formulae for repeating unit of polymer U.

- Organic polymers have a similar composition to that of common carbohydrates (predominantly composed of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms). By principle, some carbohydrates readily react with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor, explain why this principle doesn’t spontaneously work on organic polymer wastes such as Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and Polystyrene (PS)?arrow_forwardOrganic polymers have a similar composition to that of common carbohydrates(predominantly composed of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms).
