Of the following molecular geometries, which has the largest bond angle? Pyramidal Tetrahedral Trigonal planar Bent

13

How many σ bonds are in the following compound? 8 9 13 14

Which compound has the higher boiling point? Explain briefly. X, because the dipole moments are far apart. Y, because the dipole moments do not fully cancel.

All of the following are significant resonance structures of the benzyl carbocation, EXCEPT:C

Which of the following resonance structures is the most significant contributor to the resonance hybrid?A

Which of the following structures exhibits an sp3-hybridized nitrogen atom?D

Which is a bond-line drawing of (CH3)2CHCH2OC(CH3)3?C

ALL ANSWERS FROM HERE ARE ABOVE THE QUESTIONS

D

All of the following are Lewis bases EXCEPT:

II < III < I

Arrange the following compounds in order of increasing acidity, from the weakest acid to the strongest acid. II < I < III II < III < I I < III < II III < II < I

HBr is the stronger acid because Br is larger than Cl.

Which is the stronger acid, HCl or HBr? Explain briefly. HCl is the stronger acid because Cl is more electronegative than Br. HCl is the stronger acid because Cl is smaller than Br. HBr is the stronger acid because Br is less electronegative than Cl. HBr is the stronger acid because Br is larger than Cl.

Proton D

Which of the indicated protons in the given compound is the most acidic? Proton A Proton B Proton C Proton D

Y is the stronger acid because its conjugate base is stabilized by resonance.

Which of the given compounds is more acidic? Briefly explain. X is the stronger acid because the acidic proton is on a more electronegative atom. X is the stronger acid because its conjugate base is stabilized by inductive effects. Y is the stronger acid because its conjugate base is stabilized by resonance. Y is the stronger acid because the acidic proton is stabilized by inductive effects.
