What is the molecular shape for ch2 double bond c double bond ch2?

The molecular shape for CH2=CH2 (ethene) is trigonal planar, with a bond angle of 120 degrees. The carbon atoms are sp2 hybridized, resulting in the planar geometry.


What organic compounds class does octanal belong to?

OctanAl is an aldehyde. Structural formula is CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-C(=O)-H Do NOT confuse with OctanOL, which is an alcohol Structural formula is CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-O-H NB There is only ONE letter difference in the name ; 'O' for 'A'. NNB Formula writing of aldehydes is R-CHO , and the formula writing of alcohols is R-CH2OH. This is the international IUPAC Standard for indicating these functional groups.

How do you draw 3-ethylhexanoic acid in line-bond form?

To draw 3-ethylhexanoic acid in line-bond form, first draw a straight chain of 8 carbon atoms (hexane), then add a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) at carbon position 3 from one end, and an ethyl group (-C2H5) at carbon position 3 from the other end.

What is the fuctional group of propanal?

Propanakl is an ALDEHYDE. Hence the '---al' suffix to the name. Its functional group is presented by R-CHO The '-CHO' atom arrangement is - C ( =O) - H So propanal is 'CH3- CH2- C(=O)-H' The terminal (No.3) carbon makes four bonds. bond 1 ; A single bond to the resgt of the carbon chain. bond 2 ; A double bond to the oxygen atom bond 3 ; A single bond to an hydrogen atom. NB Careful with the name!!! Do NOT confuse with ALCOHOLS ; different functional group with only the letter 'a' different to letter 'o'. (propanAl / PropanOl). The atomic arrangement on the terminal carbon is is R-CH2-OH. . Note the extre two hydrogen atoms and the oxygen is singly bonded to the carbon.

What is the skeletal structure of ch3ch2ch2coch2ch2sh?

Your basic structure should look like this --> /\/\/\ On the top of the middle up-pointing arrow you should have a double bond to an O, and on the far right "" you should have an SH group at the free end.. Webassign will automatically attach the H to the S for you.
