How many chiral centers does clavulanic acid have?

VikaD [51]

Answer:

Clavulanic acid has two (2) chiral centers.

Explanation:

A chiral center is a center (usually carbon) with four different substituents.

The structure of clavulanic acid is shown in the attachment below.

Consider the labeled diagram in the attachment,

Carbon A is not a chiral carbon because it has two hydrogen atoms attached to it

Carbon B is not a chiral carbon because it has only three substituents

Carbon C is a chiral carbon because it has four different substituents

Carbon D is a chiral carbon because it has four different substituents

Carbon E is not a chiral carbon because it has only three atoms directly attached to it

Carbon F is not a chiral carbon because it has only three atoms directly attached to it

Carbon G is not a chiral carbon because it has two hydrogen atoms attached to it

Carbon H is not a chiral carbon because it has only three substituents

Then, only carbons C and D are chiral carbons.

Hence, clavulanic acid have two (2) chiral centers.

Described the role of electrons in the formation of a covalent bond

My name is Ann [436]

Sharing of two electrons make a <u>Covalent </u>bond.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Attractions among the atoms bring them together. So the electrons from each of the atoms are attracted towards the nucleus of those two atoms, that “share” the electrons produces a covalent bond.

It is also named as molecular bond, a bond that entails the sharing of a pair of electrons among the atoms. When the atoms share the electrons among themselves, it produces a molecule, which is more stable than the atom.

If the attractions between the atoms are strong enough and if every atom has enough space for the electrons in its outermost energy level then there occurs covalent bonding. So electrons are very important in the covalent bond formation.

How does a buffer resist change in ph upon addition of a strong acid?

lora16 [44]

Any buffer exists in this equilibrium

HA <=> $H^+ + A^-$
In a buffer, there is a large reservoir of both the undissociated acid (HA) and its conjugate base ( $A^-$ )

When a strong acid is added, it reacts with the large reservoir of the conjugate base ( $A^-$ ) forming a salt and water. Since this large reservoir of the conjugate base is used, the ph does not alter drastically, but instead resist the pH change.
