The electrostatic potential map is a visual representation of the molecule's charge distribution. The red areas on the map represent regions of high electron density (negative charge), while the blue areas represent regions of low electron density (positive Show more…

Methylacetamide, $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CONHCH}_{3}$, is a small molecule with an amide link (CO-NH), the group that binds one amino acid to another in proteins. (a) Is this molecule polar? (b) Where do you expect the positive and negative charges to lie in this molecule? Does the electrostatic potential surface confirm your predictions? EQUATION CANT COPY

The molecule shown here is diffuoromethane $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{F}_{2}\right),$ which is used as a refrigerant called $\mathrm{R}-32$ . (a) Based on the structure, how many electron domains surround the C atom in this molecule? (b) Would the molecule have a nonzero dipole moment? (c) If the molecule is polar, which of the following describes the direction of the overall dipole moment vector in the molecule: (i) from the carbon atom toward a fluorine atom, (ii) from the carbon atom to a point midway between the fluorine atoms, (iii) from the carbon atom to a point midway between the hydrogen atoms, or (iv) from the carbon atom toward a hydrogen atom?
