Five-atom Molecules

The carbon atom has a share in eight electrons (Ne structure) whilst each hydrogen atom has a share in two electrons (He structure). This is a gross simplification of covalent bonding, since the actual electrons are present in molecular orbitals which occupy the whole space around the five atoms of the molecule.

E.32 Chloroform is produced industrially from dichloroethane (C2H4C12). Chloroform consists of molecules containing five atoms each and, at 20°C, has a density of 1.492 g-cm-3. Given that 0.250 mol of chloroform molecules occupies 20.0 mL, what mass (in grams) of dichloroethane contains the same number of atoms as 25.5 g of chloroform ... 

Sulfur reacts very slowly with rubber, and so is compounded with rubber in the presence of accelerators and activators. Typical accelerators are thia-zoles and a typical activator is a mixture of zinc oxide and a fatty acid. The chemistry of the vulcanisation reactions is complicated, but generates a three-dimensional network in which rubber molecules are connected by short chains of sulfur atoms, with an average of about five atoms in each chain. 

There exist two geometrically different varieties of these sites, which are referred to as B5 sites because both can be made to accommodate a nitrogen molecule, which is then coordinated by five atoms. They occur at steps on the (100) and (111) planes, and particularly on (110), (311), and other high-index planes. A later paper by van Hardeveld and van Montfoort (10) contains additional evidence showing that the B5 sites are indeed responsible for the infrared-active form of nitrogen adsorption, and also that the number of B5 sites in the sample can be estimated with fair accuracy from the intensity of the 2200 cm-1 band. This means that infrared study of nitrogen adsorption can give valuable information about the structure of the surface of metal particles. 

Maleic acid is a linear four carbon molecule with carboxylate groups on both ends and a double bond between the central carbon atoms. The anhydride of maleic acid is a cyclic molecule containing five atoms. Although the reactivity of maleic anhydride is similar to other cyclic anhydrides, the products of maleylation are much more unstable toward hydrolysis, and the site of unsaturation lends itself to additional side reactions. Acylation products of amino groups with maleic anhydride are stable at neutral pH and above, but they readily hydrolyze at acid pH values around pH 3.5 (Butler et al., 1967). Maleylation of sulfhydryls and the phe-nolate of tyrosine are even more sensitive to hydrolysis. Thus, maleic anhydride is an excellent reversible blocker of amino groups to temporarily mask them from reactivity while another... 

B There are a total of sixteen valence electrons in the cyanamide molecule (five from each nitrogen atom, four from carbon and one electron from each hydrogen atom). The formula has been written as NH2CN to remind us that carbon, the most electropositive p-block element in the compound should be selected as the central atom in the skeletal structure.

The molecule methane is a happy place to begiu. Ou the oue baud, it is a very small molecule, composed of just five atoms. Ou the other baud, it is based ou the elemeut carbon. Carbon-based molecules are the foundation of all living things (and a lot of things that are not). Moreover, the chemistry of carbon is the richest of that for all the elements. Although methane has just one carbon atom, we can generalize much of what we learn about methane to molecules having many carbon atoms. 

A molecule of methane contains just five atoms one of carbon and four of hydrogen. In chemical representations of molecules, each element is identified by a symbol. Carbon is represented by the symbol C hydrogen is represented by the symbol H. Thus, the molecular formula for methane is CH4. This representation, or model, tells us just one simple fact the methane molecule contains one carbon and four hydrogen atoms. ... 

Fig. 4.5 The average bond energy per atom (in units of the magnitude of the dimer bond integral 0 ) as a function of the electron count N for three-, four-, and five-atom molecules. The pentagon and square pyramid five-atom molecules have been omitted for clarity. (After Shah and Pettifor (1993).)...

The precise spatial arrangement of the six atomic nuclei forming the transition state in the Barton reaction has not been demonstrated. However, results obtained in the rigid steroid system do offer some grounds for speculation. For example, the most favorable cases for the Barton reaction are 6/3 nitrites. In the transition state such molecules must have their five atoms designated as 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (structure 93a) rigidly placed. The sixth atom, i.e., H (structure 93a), can then reside between... 

There are five atoms in the methane molecule, CH4. One out of these five is a carbon atom, which is 1/5 X 100 = 20% carbon. What is the percent carbon in ethane, C2H6 Propane, C3Hg Butane, C4H10 ...
