Interpretation:
The geometry around the labeled carbon atoms of the given structure 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.

- Unshared, or lone, electron pairs play an important role in determining the chemical and physical properties of organic compounds. Thus, it is important to know which atoms carry unshared pairs. Use the structural formulas below to determine the number of unshared pairs at each designated atom. Be sure your answers are consistent with the formal charges on the formulas. H₂C H₂ b Hc N CH2 The number of unshared pairs at atom a is The number of unshared pairs at atom b is The number of unshared pairs at atom c is The number of unshared pairs at atom a is 1 v The number of unshared pairs at atom b is Ov The number of unshared pairs at atom c is 1.arrow_forwardCompound A is a dipeptide, optically inactive. While compound B is a tripeptide, and optically active. Compound A is formed when compound C and compound D joined together by condensation reaction. Whereas monomers E and F are formed by modifying the compounds C and D. Polymer G is formed by the condensation reaction of monomers E and F. Draw the possible structural formulae A, B,C,D,E,F and polymer G. Label the peptide bond(s) for compounds A and B.

Identify the appropriate atom by selecting an atom and assigning it a map number of 1. To do this, rigl mark to enable the Map field before entering a value. H: 122 EXP" CONT. 0 0 H но OH S Br OH [1] ÓH P. -arrow_forwardMonosaccharides have the general molecular formula of (CH₂0)m, where m is the number carbons. (m=5 is a pentose, such as xylose & m=6 is a hexose such as glucose.) Starch is a polysaccharide of thousands of glucose monomers, linked by an oxygen (-0-) bridge. The general molecular formula for starch is usually taken as (C6H1005) when n is the degree of polymerization. When formed from glucose a water molecule is released for every step in the polymerization process; when hydrolyzed (de-polymerized) a water molecule is necessary. The de-polymerization reaction can be considered as: (C6H1005)n + α H₂O → B (C6H1206) Balance the stoichiometry, i.e., find expressions for a & ß (that may involve the degree of polymerization, n). If we start with 1 kg of starch & totally hydrolyze it to glucose then how much glucose do we get [in kg & kg.mole]? Do the calculations assuming that n=1,000. The fermentation of glucose to ethanol can be expressed in the figure on the right¹. How much ethanol can be…arrow_forward
