What is the lewis structure and formal charge of CH2O

Chemistry
1 answer:
aksik [14]3 years ago
3 0

Diagram A shows the Lewis structure (LS) of CH_2O. The formal charge on each atom is zero.

To get the formal charge (FC) on the atoms, cut each bond in half, as in <em>Diagram B</em>.  Each atom gets the electrons on its side of the cut.

Formal charge = valence electrons in isolated atom - electrons on bonded atom

FC = VE - BE  

<em>On O: </em>

VE = 6

BE = 2 lone pairs 2 + 2 bonding electrons = 4 + 2 = 6

FC = 6 – 6 = 0.

<em>On H: </em>

VE = 1

BE = 1 bonding electron

FC = 1 – 1 = 0

<em>On C: </em>

VE = 4

BE = 1 in each single bond + 2 in the double bond = 2 + 2 = 4

FC = 4 - 4 = 0

What sequence of enzymes allows for the synthesis of glycogen from glucose-6-phosphate?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The answer is (e) : phosphoglucomutase, UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, glycogen synthase then amylo-(1,4-1,6)-transglycosylase.

Explanation:

Phosphoglucomutase: Convert glucose-6-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate.

UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase:  Form UDP-glucose from glucose-1-phosphate.

Glycogen synthase: Add the new glucose from UDP-glucose to the growing glycogen chain.

Amylo-(1,4-1,6)-transglycosylase: This is a branching enzyme, it initiates formation of branches evolving from the main chain.
