Concept explainers

Formal charges have an important role in organic chemistry since this concept helps us to know whether an atom in a molecule is neutral/bears a positive or negative charge. Even if some molecules are neutral, the atoms within that molecule need not be ne…

Polarity Of Water

In simple chemical terms, polarity refers to the separation of charges in a chemical species leading into formation of two polar ends which are positively charged end and negatively charged end. Polarity in any molecule occurs due to the differences in t…

Valence Bond Theory Vbt

Valence bond theory (VBT) in simple terms explains how individual atomic orbitals with an unpaired electron each, come close to each other and overlap to form a molecular orbital giving a covalent bond. It gives a quantum mechanical approach to the forma…

Chapter 5.4, Problem 5.12CP

The following ball-and-stick molecular model is a representation of ibuprofen, a nonprescription drug used for minor pain and inflammation. Only the connections between atoms are shown, not whether the bonds are single, double, or triple (red = O, gray = C, ivory = H).

(a) Indicate the positions of the multiple bonds and lone pairs in ibuprofen.
(b) What is the geometry around each carbon atom?
(c) What is the hybridization of each carbon atom?
