Stick Notation for Organic Molecular Structures

Post by dudu306 »

The molecular structure of 25deoxycacospongionolide B is represented below. In such shorthand diagrams, the end of each line segment, if not labelled with a chemical symbol, corresponds to a carbon atom. Hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon are frequently not drawn but are always inferred to complete the valence shell for each C atom. Non-bonding electrons for N and O atoms are also omitted from the diagram but can be inferred to complete those valence shells. Draw a complete Lewis structure of the molecule and answer the following questions.

Complete the structure ONLY by adding hydrogen atoms to carbon atoms where needed. You must not create any other bonds. Atoms such as oxygen or nitrogen may have lone pairs to complete their octets.

What is the hybridization of atom number 11?
What is the hybridization of atom number 19?
What is the hybridization of atom number 5?


choices: sp, sp2, sp3, dsp3, d2sp3
