Hydrogen 6-axis

The hydrogen atom attached to an alkane molecule vibrates along the bond axis at a frequency of about 3000 cm. What wavelength of electromagnetic radiation is resonant with this vibration What is the frequency in hertz What is the force constant of the C II bond if the alkane is taken to be a stationary mass because of its size and the H atom is assumed to execute simple harmonic motion ... 

Sr) and the nonbonding orbital formed by the Oxygen 2s and 2pz orbitals eombining to form the "lone pair" orbital direeted along the z-axis away from the two Hydrogen atoms). 

Each carbon of ethylene uses two of its sp hybrid orbitals to form ct bonds to two hydrogen atoms as illustrated m the first part of Figure 2 17 The remaining sp orbitals one on each carbon overlap along the mternuclear axis to give a ct bond connecting the two carbons... 

Acetylenic hydrogens are unusual in that they are more shielded than we would expect for protons bonded to sp hybridized carbon This is because the rr electrons circulate around the triple bond not along it (Figure 13 9a) Therefore the induced magnetic field is parallel to the long axis of the triple bond and shields the acetylenic proton (Figure 13 9b) Acetylenic protons typically have chemical shifts near 8 2 5... 

In Section 4.2.1 it will be pointed out that hydrogen peroxide (Figure 4.1 la) has only one symmetry element, a C2 axis, and is therefore a chiral molecule although the enantiomers have never been separated. The complex ion [Co(ethylenediamine)3], discussed in Section 4.2.4 and shown in Figure 4.11(f), is also chiral, having only a C3 axis and three C2 axes. 

The crystal stmcture of PPT is pseudo-orthorhombic (essentially monoclinic) with a = 0.785/nm b = 0.515/nm c (fiber axis) = 1.28/nm and d = 90°. The molecules are arranged in parallel hydrogen-bonded sheets. There are two chains in a unit cell and the theoretical crystal density is 1.48 g/cm. The observed fiber density is 1.45 g/cm. An interesting property of the dry jet-wet spun fibers is the lateral crystalline order. Based on electron microscopy studies of peeled sections of Kevlar-49, the supramolecular stmcture consists of radially oriented crystaUites. The fiber contains a pleated stmcture along the fiber axis, with a periodicity of 500—600 nm. 

Nitroparaffias (or nitroaLkanes) are derivatives of the alkanes ia which one hydrogen or more is replaced by the electronegative nitro group, which is attached to carbon through nitrogen. The nitroparaffins are isomeric with alkyl nitrites, RONO, which are esters of nitrous acid. The nitro group ia a nitroparaffin has been shown to be symmetrical about the R—N bond axis, and may be represented as a resonance hybrid ... 

Fig. 2. Protein secondary stmcture (a) the right-handed a-helix, stabilized by intrasegmental hydrogen-bonding between the backbone CO of residue i and the NH of residue t + 4 along the polypeptide chain. Each turn of the helix requires 3.6 residues. Translation along the hehcal axis is 0.15 nm per residue, or 0.54 nm per turn and (b) the -pleated sheet where the polypeptide is in an extended conformation and backbone hydrogen-bonding occurs between residues on adjacent strands. Here, the backbone CO and NH atoms are in the plane of the page and the amino acid side chains extend from C ...

Figure S.l The enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD). SOD is a P structure comprising eight antiparallel P strands (a). In addition, SOD has two metal atoms, Cu and Zn (yellow circles), that participate in the catalytic action conversion of a superoxide radical to hydrogen peroxide and oxygen. The eight p strands are arranged around the surface of a barrel, which is viewed along the barrel axis in (b) and perpendicular to this axis in (c). [(a) Adapted from J.S. Richardson. The stmcture of SOD was determined in the laboratory of J.S. and D.R. Richardson, Duke University.)...
