Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The shape around the carbon in ethanol along with it is polar or non-polar is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The polar bond is formed between the two unlike atoms having electronegative difference ranges from 0.5-1.9. The polar bond represents the arrow towards the high electronegative element, while the tail towards the low electronegative element. The negative sign is given to the high electronegative element while a positive sign is given to the low electronegative element.
(b)
Interpretation:
The shape around the carbon in acetaldehyde along with it is polar or non-polar is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The polar bond is formed between the two unlike atoms having electronegative difference ranges from 0.5-1.9. The polar bond represents the arrow towards the high electronegative element, while the tail towards the low electronegative element. The negative sign is given to the high electronegative element while a positive sign is given to the low electronegative element.

Draw a structural formula for the one tertiary (3) alcohol with the molecular formula C4H10O.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between the hybridization of carbon atoms' valence orbitals in saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons?arrow_forward2. For a molecular formula of C5H6O: a) Draw Lewis structures, showing all bonding and non-bonding electrons, for one compound with an alcohol functional group; one with an ether functional group; one with a ketone functional group; and one with an aldehyde functional group. b) For each compound, indicate all bond angles and build a molecular model. c) Indicate whether each pair of valence electrons is non-bonding (n) or σ- or - bonded. For each atom, indicate the corresponding orbitals that are involved (e.g. nsp3, Osp3-sp3, etc.).arrow_forward

Why? Онarrow_forwardPart G. Molecules with Oxygen and Nitrogen. Organic molecules often contain the elements oxygen and nitrogen. Construct a model with the molecular formula C5H12O where the oxygen is bonded to one hydrogen. When a hydrogen is bonded to an oxygen or nitrogen, you need to draw that bond in a bond-line structure. Draw the bond-line structure of this model. What is the molecular geometry of oxygen in your structure? Draw three more constitutional isomers with the molecular formula C5H12O where the oxygen is bonded to one hydrogen.
