Doxorubicin, shown here, is an important chemotherapy drug used to treat avariety of cancers, including bladder cancer, breast cancer, and certain forms of leukemia. Doxorubicin works by binding to DNA in such a way that a portion of it penetrates the DNA double helix— a process called intercalation. During transcription— the process that forms RNA— portions of the DNA strands are temporarily separated for the base sequence to be read and then are reconnected. With bound doxorubicin, however, the double helix does not reform properly after the strands are separated, which disrupts replication— the process that forms an identical copy of DNA. Which portion of doxorubicin do you think intercalates into the DNA double helix, and why do you think it has little difficulty doing so?
Which of the following statements islare true about fat soluble vitamins (A. D, E. & K)? (a) Fats are non-polar substance while Vitamin A, D. E and K are polar substances. (b) Both fats and Vitamins A. D. E, &K are non-polar substances. (c) These fat soluble vitamins if taken in excess can accumulate in the body fats. (d) Fats are needed by our body to dissolve these vitamins. a b and c a and d O b, c and d Which of the following statements is NOT true about intramolecular force? O It holds atoms together in a molecule. It is the chemical bond between atoms in a molecule. O It stabilizes the individual molecules O It is weaker than intermolecular force.
One way of naming alcohols is to name the alkyl group that is attached to the −OH and add the word alcohol. Write bond-line formulas for (a.) propyl alcohol and (b.) isopropyl alcohol.
The compound H3N°BH3 is an adduct of NH3 and BH3 . It is currently being investigated as a possible hydrogen storage material. a) What is the hydrogen storage capacity (hint: this is a very simple question, it refers to the percentage by weight of hydrogen in the molecule). b) Using VSEPR model, draw structures for BH3, NH3 and H3N°BH .

(c) They are half-way between a double and single bond. (d) They are easily broken in chemical reactions. (e) They are all double bonds. ct Copyright O 2002 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Limited Name: Class:
Fatty acids are molecules with a carboxylic acid on one end and long hydrocarbon chain on the other. The sodium salts of fatty acids (such as sodium strearate, shown below) are commonly used in soaps to trap nonpolar dirt and grease particles. Soap does not work well in "hard water, which is water with high concentration of magensium and calcium ions (often found in water obtained from wells) Explain this observation at a molecular level.
Sketch the hydrogen bond(s) that form between two molecules of ethanol and one nitrogen trihydride molecule and one dihydrogen monoxide molecule. Show the proper VSEPR shapes of all molecules (meaning VSEPR shapes with proper bond angles) and used dotted or dashed lines to indicate the hydrogen bonds. Indicate 4 different H-bonds: 1) ethanol and nitrogen trihydride 2) ethanol and dihydrogen monoxide 3) dihydrogen monoxide and nitrogen trihydride and then 4) between the two ethanol molecules.
Methyl isocyanate, CH3 -N= C = O, is used in the industrial synthesis of a type of pesticide and herbicide known as a carbamate. As a historical note, an industrial accident in Bhopal, India, in 1984 resulted in leakage of an unknown quantity of this chemical into the air. An estimated 200,000 people were exposed to its vapors, and over 2000 of these people died. Q.) Write a Lewis structure for methyl isocyanate and predict its bond angles. What is the hybridization of its carbonyl carbon? Of its nitrogen atom?
For resonance, there can be two resonance contributors or there could be one resonance hybrid. Are these just different ways to express the resonance? Do you have either two resonance contributors or a resonance hybrid? Or is the resonance hybrid just the resonance structure, but the version that is found in nature?
If a drop of oleic acid is added to a dish of water, the oleic acid will spread out and form a layer that is one molecule thick on top of the water. (a) Draw the Lewis structure for oleic acid. (b) Label the region of the oleic acid molecule that is polar and the region that is nonpolar. (c) In the layer of oleic acid that forms, which part of the oleic acid molecule points down into the water and which part points out of the water?
