Chapter 9, Problem 49GQ

Menthol is used in soaps, perfumes, and foods. It is present in the common herb mint, and it can be prepared from turpentine.

(a) What are the hybridizations used by the C atoms in the molecule?

(b) What is the approximate C—O—H bond angle?

(c) Is the molecule polar or nonpolar?

(d) Is the six-member carbon ring planar or non-planar? Explain why or why not.

The structure of caffeine is shown below. (a) Complete the Lewis structure. (b) How many pi bonds are present in caffeine? How many sigma bonds? (c) Identify the hybridization of the carbon atoms. (d) What is the value of the O-C-N angle?
Butadiene, C4H6, is a planar molecule that has the followingcarbon–carbon bond lengths: (a) Predict the bond angles around each of the carbon atoms and sketch the molecule. (b) From left to right, what is the hybridization of each carbon atom in butadiene? (c) The middle C—C bond length in butadiene (1.48 Å) is a little shorter than the average C—C single bond length (1.54 Å). Does this imply that the middle C—C bond in butadiene is weaker or stronger than the average C—C single bond? (d) Based on your answer for part (c), discuss what additional aspects of bonding in butadiene might support the shorter middle C—C bond.
In ozone, O3, the two oxygen atoms on the ends of the molecule are equivalent to one another. (a)What is the best choice of hybridization scheme for the atoms of ozone? (b) For one of the resonance forms of ozone, which of the orbitals are used to make bonds and which are used to hold nonbonding pairs of electrons? (c) Which of the orbitals can be used to delocalize the π electrons? (d) How many electrons are delocalized in the π system of ozone?
