Question

Answer the following questions using the structure provided (Propofol). Please if not applicable, write 'N/A') i) number of sigma (sigma) bonds ii) number of sp^1 hybridized atoms iii) number of pi(pi) bonds iv) molecular formula sp^2 hybridized atoms v) molecular formula Please provide the structure of 2-chloro-2-methyl-3-phenylheptane.

Answer 1

1) number of sigma bonds = 26 (All single bonds are sigma bonds.)

2) number of sp3 hybridised atoms = 7

3) number of pi bonds = 3 (All double bonds are pi bonds.)

4) number of sp2 hybridised atoms = 6 (All double bonded carbon atoms are sp2 hybridised atoms.)

Cl, CH3 structure of 2-chloro-2-methyl-3-phenylheptane Explanati on: The rootword is hept- so the number of carbon atoms in the longest carbon chain are 7. A -Cl group is located at 2nd position and a methyl group is located at 2nd position and a phenyl group is located at 3rd position.
