Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The bond angle between two hydrogen bonds in the given structure is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Each water molecule contains two hydrogen donors and two lone pairs on oxygen. Each water molecule can form two hydrogen bonds involving their hydrogen atom plus two further bonds, utilizing the hydrogen atoms attached to the neighboring water molecules. Each lone pair of electron on the oxygen atom can participate in having one hydrogen bond. According to VSEPR theory, the electron geometry for an atom with two bonds and two lone pairs of electrons is tetrahedral with a bond angle around

- ( do by drawing figure)arrow_forward(a) In one of the two boxes below, draw a wedge and dashed wedge structure (picture) of CH3Cl that best illustrates the geometry about the central atom. In the other box, draw another picture of the model from a different angle (viewpoint). (b) In CH3Cl, are the three hydrogen atoms equivalent (i.e., do they have identical environments with respect to the other atoms adjacent to themselves)?

- Detergents need not be ionic. Pentaerythrityl palmitate (shown here) is a nonionic detergent used in dishwashingliquids.(a) Identify the hydrophilic and hydrophobic portions of the molecule.(b) Draw a depiction of a micelle that would form if this compound were dissolved in water.(c) What intermolecular interactions are primarily responsible for the micelle’s solubility in water?(d) What advantages do nonionic detergents have over ionic detergents in hard water?arrow_forwardAn atom gained an electron, thus, becoming negatively charged. If it was then attracted to a polar molecule, what type of interaction will occur?arrow_forwardIf A H;º is a positive number then that molecule has less chemical potential energy stored in its' bonds than the elemnets it was formed from. that molecule has more chemical potential energy stored in its' bonds than the elemnets it was formed from. that molecule has the same amount of chemical potential energy stored in its' bonds as the elemnets it was formed from.arrow_forward
