Question
Following is a structural formula of the prescription drug famotidine, manufactured by Merck Sharpe & Dohme under the name Pepcid. The primary clinical use of Pepcid is for the treatment of active duodenal ulcers and benign gastric ulcers. Pepcid is a competitive inhibitor of histamine H2 receptors and reduces both gastric acid concentration and the volume of gastric secretions. C O N O H2N H2N N CH2 CC S S CH2 CH2 NH2 N C S NH2 H C (a) Complete the Lewis structure of famotidine showing all valence electrons and any formal positive or negative charges. (b) Describe each circled bond in terms of the overlap of atomic orbitals.
Solution
The first step in solving 1 problem number 58 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Following is a structural formula of the prescription drug famotidine, manufactured by Merck Sharpe & Dohme under the name Pepcid. The primary clinical use of Pepcid is for the treatment of active duodenal ulcers and benign gastric ulcers. Pepcid is a competitive inhibitor of histamine H2 receptors and reduces both gastric acid concentration and the volume of gastric secretions. C O N O H2N H2N N CH2 CC S S CH2 CH2 NH2 N C S NH2 H C (a) Complete the Lewis structure of famotidine showing all valence electrons and any formal positive or negative charges. (b) Describe each circled bond in terms of the overlap of atomic orbitals.
From the textbook chapter Covalent Bonding and Shapes of Molecules you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
