Describe the steps used to create Lewis dot structures to represent covalent bonds.

Chemistry

antiseptic1488 [7]3 years ago
5 0
1)Identify the atoms that are participating in a covalent bond.
2)Draw each atom by using its element symbol. The number of valence electrons is shown by placing up to two dots on each side of the element symbol, with each dot representing a single valence electron.
3)Predict the number of covalent bonds each atom will make using the octet rule.
4)Draw the bonding atoms next to each other, showing a single covalent bond as either a pair of dots or a line representing a shared valence electron pair. If the molecule forms a double or triple bond, use two or three lines to represent the shared electron pairs, respectively.

Describe polar covalent bonds using water as an example
Dahasolnce [82]
<span>A covalent bond is a bond formed by atom sharing.
In water molecule, there are twice the number of hydrogen atoms than the oxygen atoms. Its structure is H-O-H. The electronegative difference between the H and O allows them to be polar because on side there is positive charge and on another side there is negative charge.</span>

Identify the most acidic hydrogens in each of the following molecules. Give the structure of the enolate ion arising from deprot
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

See explanation below (Brainlist please)

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand what is an acidic hydrogen.

An acidic hydrogen, is the atom of hydrogen which is more propense to undergo an acid base reaction, and form a stable ion or molecule in the process.

In other words, is the hydrogen that is more vulnerable to get substracted in an acid base reaction to form another compound.

Knowing this information, gives us an idea of how a molecule can be formed and which kind of compound is formed.

Now, in this question, we have 5 molecules. Each of them is either a ketone or aldehyde, so this mean that we have the carbonile group (C = O), which means that is easier to identify the acidic hydrogen. This is because the Carbonile group is an attractor group, so, it will attract the charges by inductive effect (in some cases by resonance), and the molecule is more stable.

This can be shown by drawing the enolate ion that is formed once the molecule undergo the acid base reaction. As it's an enolate form that we are looking for, then it means that the ketone or aldehyde is undergoing an electrofilic attack with a base. This base will substract the most acidic hydrogen to form a better and stable enolate. The acidic hydrogen and the enolate form can be seen in the attached picture.

a) In the case of acetaldehyde, the most acidic will be the hydrogen of carbon 2, because the hydrogen from the carbonile, once it's substracted, the charge of the carbon cannot be stabilized by resonance. Carbon 2 hydrogens, can do this job easily.

b) Propanal happens something similar to acetaldehyde, the terminal hydrogen cannot be substracted, and carbon 3, once the hydrogen is gone, the negative charge cannot be stabilized by resonance, so hydrogens of carbon 2 can do this.

c) in the case of acetone, is easier to look because we only have the C = O between two methyl group, so you can use either carbon 1 or 3 to do the job.

d) 4 heptanone the most acidic hydrogen would be carbon 3 or 5, because they are closer to the C=O and the ion can be stabilized by resonance.

e) Finally in ciclopentanone, the most acidic hydrogen would be carbon 2 or 5.

See picture for a better understanding.

Hope it helps.
