(a)

Skeletal structure of Indole

Step by step solution

01

Skeletal structure

In drawing the skeletal structures, the carbon atoms are not shown. The carbon atom is assumed to be at the end of each line. The skeletal structure does not show carbon-hydrogen bonds. The atoms other than carbon and hydrogen are shown.

02

Skeletal structure of indole

The skeletal structure of indole shows the heteroatom nitrogen whereas the hydrogen and carbon atoms are depicted by dots and lines respectively. The skeletal structure of indole is represented as:

Tell the number of hydrogens bonded to each carbon atom in the following substances, and give the molecular formula of each:

(a)

Following is a molecular model of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid). Identify the hybridization of the orbitals on each carbon atom in aspirin, and tell which atoms have lone pairs of electrons (gray 5 C, pink 5 O, ivory 5 H).


Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid)

Divalent carbon species called carbenes are capable of fleeting existence. For example, methylene, :CH2, is the simplest carbene. The two unshared electrons in methylene can be either paired in a single orbital or unpaired in different orbitals. Predict the type of hybridization you expect carbon to adopt in singlet (spin-paired) methylene and triplet (spin-unpaired) methylene. Draw a picture of each, and identify the valence orbitals on carbon.

Question: Quetiapine, marketed as Seroquel, is a heavily prescribed antipsychotic drug used in the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Convert the following representation into a skeletal structure, and give the molecular formula of quetiapine.

Question: Draw a line-bond structure for 1, 3-butadiene H2C=CH-CH=CH2. Indicate the hybridization of the orbitals on each carbon, and predict the value of each bond angle.
