Structure of Diazomethane. Is there a single Lewis structure for diazomethane or is a composite of two structures required for proper description? + N=N + -N=N To decide, compare the geometry of diazomethane with those of methylamine, CH3NH2, and methyleneimine, H₂C=NH, molecules incorporating normal CN single and double bonds, respectively, and those of trans diimide, HN=NH, and nitrogen, N=N, molecules incorporating normal NN double and triple bonds, respectively. If two Lewis structures are required, which appears to be the more important?

Methyl isocyanate, CH3 -N= C = O, is used in the industrial synthesis of a type of pesticide and herbicide known as a carbamate. As a historical note, an industrial accident in Bhopal, India, in 1984 resulted in leakage of an unknown quantity of this chemical into the air. An estimated 200,000 people were exposed to its vapors, and over 2000 of these people died. Q.) Write a Lewis structure for methyl isocyanate and predict its bond angles. What is the hybridization of its carbonyl carbon? Of its nitrogen atom?
One way of naming alcohols is to name the alkyl group that is attached to the −OH and add the word alcohol. Write bond-line formulas for (a.) propyl alcohol and (b.) isopropyl alcohol.
What are the functional groups of Carvone? Identify and label all functional groups (alcohols, amines, amides, carboxylic acids, ketones, aldehydes, aromatic rings, aromatic amines, etc) on the Lewis Structure. You do not have to circle alkanes.
These two different C2H6O compounds are called structural (or constitutional) isomers - compounds with the same molecular formula but with different connections among their constituent atoms. If you must break and make new bonds in order to convert one structure into the other (not simply rotate the model around), then they are structural isomers. The concept of isomers is very important in organic chemistry and biochemistry. This is also another instance where condensed formulas can be very useful because they can help you distinguish two isomers apart even when you don't have models. Exercise 8) Can your models be interconverted by rotating bonds, or must the bonds be broken first? What does that mean about these two structures?
One family of disinfection byproducts that result from the reaction of chloramines with natural organic matter in water are called the halomethanes. These are molecules where the hydrogen atoms in methane (CH4) have been replaced with atoms from group 7 of the periodic table (i.e. halogens). Draw and submit pictures of the Lewis structures for each of the following halomethanes: CH3Cl CCI CBrCiz
The average bond energy (enthalpy) for a C=CC=C double bond is 614 kJ/molkJ/mol and that of a C−CC−C single bond is 348 kJ/molkJ/mol. Estimate the energy needed to break only the ππ bond of the double bond of 2-butene. Express your answer numerically in joules per molecule.
The carbon–carbon bond length in C2H2 is 1.20 Å, that in C2H4 is 1.34 Å, and that in C2H6 is 1.53 Å. Near which of these values would you predict the bond length of C2 to lie? Is the experimentally observed value, 1.31 Å, consistent with your prediction?

Linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid found in many vegetable oils, such as soy, peanut, and cottonseed. A key structural feature of the molecule is the cis orientation around its two double bonds, where R1 and R2 represent two different groups that form the rest of the molecule. (a) How many different compounds are possible, changing only the cis-trans arrangements around these two double bonds? (b) How many are possible for a similar compound with three double bonds?
