Description: Order the following molecules from least to most oxidized, based on the marked carbon atom:

Answer

Marked carbon atom of molecules (a), (b) and (c) contain $1,2$ and $0 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}$ bonds respectively. Therefore, molecule $(\mathrm{c})$ is most oxidized and molecule $(\mathrm{b})$ is least oxidized. Therefore, the order of the molecules from least to most oxidized is as follows;
$(\mathrm{c})>(\mathrm{a})>(\mathrm{b})$

Video Transcript

So in this podcast, we're gonna be taking a look at some different functional groups like Al Gore hides, keystones products and casted semesters on we can order the molecules from the least to the most oxidized about depending on the carbon atom off interest. So on organic molecule is oxidized. If the C H bonds of the carbon atoms undergoing oxidation are replaced by C O bonds. So the carbon atom that contains the least number of CH Francis said to be the most oxidized. So with that in mind, we can take a look at our example. So we have a B and C to consider on. We have the highlighted carbon, so just referred to them as carbon A on structure A that is the alcohol and then continuing on. So the most oxidized we can conclude is molecules. See, the molecule B is the least oxidized, followed by a full of five B because I just counted the C H bonds and compared them
