Interpretation Introduction To draw: The Lewis structure for BrF and to estimate the percent ionic character of the BrF bond. Explanation The Lewis structure for BrF is formed with Br sharing three electrons with F and the structure looks like as given below: B r · · F The dipole moment of a diatomic molecule is given by: μ = q × r ⇒ q = μ r Where q is the charge and r is the bond length. The dipole moment of the B r F is 1.29 D . This can be converted into C-m as: 1.29 D = 1.29 × 3.34 × 10 − 30 C m [ ∵ 1 D = 3.34 × 10 − 30 C m ] The bond length of the B r F bond is 1.78 A o . This can be converted into m as: 1.78 A o = 1.78 × 10 − 10 m [ ∵ 1 A o = 10 − 10 m ] Substitute the dipole moment of the B r F as 1

Show the saponification products of the following ester: You don't need to draw in the Na+ cation. catalyst, A catalyst, A catalyst, A

What would happen if the carboxylic acid and alcohol groups were on the same molecule? In essence, the molecule reacts with itself. Draw the structure of the products formed in this manner using the reactants below. If two functional groups interact with one another on the same molecule, this is called an “intramolecular" (within one) rather than "intermolecular" (between two or more) attack.
