What’s the difference between an ester and an amide

Rufina [12.5K]

In amides, the carbonyl carbon is bonded to a nitrogen. The nitrogen in an amide can be bonded either to hydrogens, to carbons, or to both. ... Another way of thinking of an ester is that it is a carbonyl bonded to an alcohol. Thioesters are similar to esters, except a sulfur is in place of the oxygen.

Given the formula representing a molecule:

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

B) Symmetrical and nonpolar

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is H-C≡C-H.

Each C atom has two electron regions, so VSEPR theory predicts a linear molecular geometry (see image below).

The molecule is symmetrical, because the green line divides the molecule into two halves that are mirror images of each other.

The C-H bonds are slightly polar, because C is more electronegative than H (µ ≈ 0.4 D).

The C atoms are partially negative (red), while the H atoms are partially positive (blue).

However, the two C-H bond dipoles point in opposite directions, so they cancel each other. The molecule has no net dipole moment.

Acetylene is nonpolar.
