Properties of materials
A: Pick a biological or synthetic compound from the list below or pick an alternate one with permission from your instructor. 0 Protein 0 Mylar o Lipids – Neoprene o Carbohydrates (Le. glucose, fibre) o Acrylamide o Polystyrene (Styrofoam) 0 Dieldrine o Polyvinylchloride ( PVC) 0 N°methyI-2-pyrrolidone 0 Nylon 0 Nicotinamides o Kevlar o Estrogen 8: Provide a description of the molecule which must include: What the molecule is used for and its importance to Society, the Environment and/or the Economy (S.E.E.); e if there are any known risks of the substance to S.E.E. C: You will explore the structure of the molecule and examine how the structure imparts the physical properties of the molecule.
Describe how its structure impacts its function in terms of chemical bonding and intermolecular forces; 6 Hand draw the Lewis Structure of the compound. Use VSEPR to describe the shape and bond angle around at least 3 atoms in your molecule (if you have multiple shapes available to describe, the three shapes must be different)(if you have chosen a polymer with only one bond shape, also include {E monomer); State the hybridization for at least two “central” atoms
Construct the orbital filling diagrams for the bonds around at least 1 “central” atom in your above.
