Allene,CH2=C=CH2 , has the structure shown below. Explain how the bonding in allene requires the two groups at its ends to be at right angles to each other.
Allene
For each pair of structures, determine whether they represent different compounds or a single compound.
a.
b.
c,
d.
In the following sets of resonance forms, label the major and minor contributors and state which structures would be of equal energy. Add any missing resonance forms.
In 1934, Edward A. Doisy of Washington University extracted 3000 lb of hog ovaries to isolate a few milligrams of pure estradiol, a potent female hormone. Doisy burned 5.00 mg of this precious sample in oxygen and found that 14.54 mg of CO2 and 3.97 mg of H2O were generated.
(a) Determine the empirical formula of estradiol.
(b) The molecular weight of estradiol was later determined to be 272. Determine the molecular formula of estradiol.
Determine whether the following pairs of structures are different compounds or simply resonance forms of the same compounds.
