Amino acids are biological compounds that link together to form proteins, the workhorse

Problem 85Amino acids are biological compounds that link together to form proteins, the workhorsemolecules in living organisms. The skeletal structures of several simple amino acids areshown here. For each skeletal structure, complete the Lewis structure, determine thegeometry and hybridization about each interior atom, and make a sketch of the molecule,using the bond conventions of Section 10.4. Step by step solutionStep 1 of 3(a)Serine\nThe total number of valence electrons in the structure is 36. Introducing lone pairs to account forthe total number of valence electrons we can complete the Lewis structure. The C=O group isprobably mistakenly given as C=C in the problem.The carbon atoms with four electron groups and no lone pairs all show tetrahedral geometry with hybridization. The nitrogen atom with one lone pair and three bonding groups showstrigonal pyramidal geometry and hybridization.The carbon with doubly bonded oxygen shows trigonal planar geometry with hybridization.The oxygen with two bonding groups and two lone pairs shows bent structure withhybridization._____________________________________________________________________________
