Most stable organic species have tetravalent carbon atoms, but species with trivalent carbon atoms also exist. Carbocations are one such class of compounds.
(a) How many valence electrons does the positively charged carbon atom have?
(b) What hybridization do you expect this carbon atom to have?
(c) What geometry is the carbocation likely to have?

The following model is a representation of ibuprofen, a common over-the-counter pain reliever. Indicate the positions of the multiple bonds, and draw a skeletal structure (gray 5 C, red 5 O, ivory 5 H).

Question: Halogenated compounds are particularly easy to identify by their mass
spectra because both chlorine and bromine occur naturally as mixtures
of two abundant isotopes. Recall that chlorine occurs as 35Cl (75.8%)
and 37C (24.2%); and bromine occurs as 79Br (50.7%) and 81Br (49.3%).
At what masses do the molecular ions occur for the following formulas?
What are the relative percentages of each molecular ion?
(a)Bromomethane, CH3Br
(b)1-Chlorohexane, C6H13Cl
Question: Write molecular formulas for compounds that show the following molecular ions in their high-resolution mass spectra, assuming that C, H, N, and O might be present. The exact atomic masses are: 1.00783 , 12.00000 , 14.00307 , 15.99491 .
Where might the following compound have IR absorptions?
