Chapter 4, Problem 4.79CHP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Structure of aspartame (C14H18N2O5) has to be completed by representing the position of multiple bonds and lone pairs.

Concept introduction:

Electron-dot structure:

This is only way to show the sharing of electrons between atom in polar covalent bonds or covalent bond.  This is often called Lewis structure.  This structure denotes valence electrons of an atom by dots and also it shows the way of valence electron distributed within a molecule.

The hydrocarbon cyclobutane, C4H8, is represented above. At high temperatures, cyclobutane quickly decomposes into ethene, C2H4. (see attached image) (a) Draw a Lewis electron-dot diagram of the ethene molecule in the following box, and estimate the value of the H−C−H bond angle in ethene.
Draw the Lewis dot structure for CBr2F2 .   Choose the answer below that gives, in this exact order, the (I) number of lone pairs and (II) number of chemical bonds on the central atom along with (III) the number of double bonds in the compound.   Group of answer choices 0,4,0 1,2,2 1,4,1 0,4,1 2,2,1
Oxalic acid,  H2C2O4,  a poisonous colorless solid, is found in some vegetables such as spinach and rhubarb. It is present in concentrations well below the toxic limit, so you can't use this as a reason to refuse a helping of spinach. The order of atoms in a molecule of oxalic acid is  HO2CCO2H.  (a) How many unshared pairs of electrons are on each of the carbon atoms?   (b) How many unshared pairs of electrons are on each of the oxygen atoms?
