Highlight the polar bond(s) in the Lewis structure. glycine
Glycine, which has the chemical formula C2H5NO2, contains several polar bonds. The Lewis structure of glycine is:
H
|
H - C - H
| |
H - C - N(+)
|
O(-)
The polar bonds in the glycine molecule are:
1. The bond between the carbon (C) atom and one of the hydrogen (H) atoms on the left side of the structure. This bond is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen.
2. The bond between the carbon (C) atom and the nitrogen (N) atom. This bond is polar because nitrogen is more electronegative than carbon.
3. The bond between the carbon (C) atom and the oxygen (O) atom. This bond is polar because oxygen is more electronegative than carbon.
