Consider the following reaction:CH3CH2CH2 CH3OCH3CH2CH2CCH3 HCN CHOCNA BP r o b l e m s (a) Draw these condensed formulas as Lewis dot structures. Label the geometry and hybridizationof the bold carbons in compounds A and B. Did the hybridization change in the course of thereaction?(b) Draw the condensed formulas as bond-line structures.(c) Examine the components of the reaction in light of bond polarity. Using the notation forpartial charge separation, d1 and d2, indicate, on the bond-line structures, any polar bonds.(d) This reaction is actually a two-step process: cyanide attack followed by protonation. Depictthese processes by using the same electron pair pushing technique that we employed for resonancestructures in Section 1-5, but now show the fl ow of electrons for the two steps. Clearlyposition the beginning (an electron pair) and the end (a positively polarized or charged nucleus)of your arrows.Preprofessional Preprofessional problems are included to give you practice solving the type of problems found onexams required for entry into professional schools, such as the MCAT, DAT, chemistry GRE, andACS exams, as well as on many undergraduate tests. Do these multiple-choice questions as you gothrough this course and then return to them before you take a professional school exam. These questionsare to be answered closed book that is, no periodic table, calculator, or the like.
