Question: Draw one valid Lewis structure for each compound. Assume the atoms are arranged as drawn
a,
b.
c.
d.
In 1934, Edward A. Doisy of Washington University extracted 3000 lb of hog ovaries to isolate a few milligrams of pure estradiol, a potent female hormone. Doisy burned 5.00 mg of this precious sample in oxygen and found that 14.54 mg of CO2 and 3.97 mg of H2O were generated.
(a) Determine the empirical formula of estradiol.
(b) The molecular weight of estradiol was later determined to be 272. Determine the molecular formula of estradiol.
Draw the important resonance forms of the following cations and anions:

(1) Draw a Lewis structure for each compound.
(2) Label the hybridization, geometry, and bond angles around each atom other than hydrogen.
(3) Draw a three- dimensional representation (using wedges and dashed lines) of the structure.
(a)CO2
(b)CH3OCH3
(c)(CH3)3O+
(d)CH3COOH
(e)CH3CCH
(f)CH3CHNCH3
(g)H2CCO
Allene, , has the structure shown below. Explain how the bonding in allene requires the two groups at its ends to be at right angles to each other.
