Newman Projection of A Chair

Draw the double Newman Projection of 1,1-dimethyl cyclohexane looking down the C2-C1 and C4-C5 bonds The steps of drawing a Newman Projection of 1,1-dimethyl cyclohexane are the following:1. Draw 1,1-dimethyl cyclohexane2. Draw a chair conformation of 1,1-dimethyl cyclohexane and number the carbons on the chair3. Identify and highlight C2-C1 bond and C4-C5 bond4. Looking from…

Learn How To Name Alkanes With Mayya

Alkanes are hydrocarbons that have only single bonds. Before learning how to name alkanes, you need to understand different ways to draw and interpret them. There are three different ways to draw organic molecules: Lewis structure, condensed structure and bond-line structure. Bond-line structures are used most often in organic chemistry. In a bond-line structure, carbons…

Acids and Bases in Organic Chemistry: Complete Guide by Mayya

Bronsted- Lowry Acids and Bases In organic chemistry, many reactions involve acids and bases. Let’s look at some definitions first.Bronsted-Lowry acid is a proton(H+) donor. Bronsted-Lowry base is a proton (H+) acceptor. Conjugate acid-base pair consists of an acid and its conjugate base. The difference between an acid and its’ conjugate base is one hydrogen…

Functional Groups In Organic Chemistry

Guide To Functional Groups By Mayya Alocci Functional groups are different groups of atoms that characterize a molecule and give it specific chemical reactivity. These groups also serve as basis to name organic molecules. Molecules that have the same functional groups belong to the same class. Note: “R” notation represents all alkyl groups (any hydrocarbon…

Condensed Structures Into Bond-Line Structures Practice Worksheet

In the Bond-line structures Review, we have learned how to understand bond-line structures (also called line-angle structures). We also learned how to go from a condensed formula to Lewis dot structure and to the bond-line structure. Learn how to draw bond-line structures from condensed formulas given HERE Draw a bond-line structure for each of the…

How To Convert Condensed Structures into Lewis Structures

Different Styles Of Drawing Organic Molecules In organic chemistry, there are multiple styles used to draw organic molecules. These are: Lewis structures, condensed structures and bond line structures. In Lewis structures, all of the atoms and bonds are shown. In condensed structures only atoms are shown and not bonds. It is very important to understand…

How To Draw Resonance Structures: Complete Guide by Mayya Alocci

Resonance structures are multiple electronic representations of the same molecule. The only difference between resonance structures is the location of electrons. A molecule is a hybrid of all of its resonance structures. What this means is that a molecule does NOT switch from one resonance form to another. Rather, it is a combination of all…

Which of the following pure compounds will exhibit hydrogen bonding?

(a) CH3CH2OH (b) CH2O (c) C2H4 (d) C2H2 (e) CH3OCH3 (f ) CH3NH2 (g) C3H8 (h) NH3 Solution: Hydrogen bonding is a type of intermolecular force (force of attraction between molecules). Molecules that can exhibit this force must have either OH, NH or FH. For some of the molecules given, drawing Lewis structure is useful…
