Maharashtra Board Solutions for Chapter: Basic Principles of Organic Chemistry, Exercise 4: Can you recall?

What is meant by 'reagent'?

Identify the 'reagent', 'substrate', 'product', and 'by-product' in the following reaction.

${\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{COCl}+{\mathrm{NH}}_3\to {\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CONH}}_2+\mathrm{HCl}$

How is covalent bond formed between two atoms?

Consider two covalently bonded atoms $\mathrm{Q}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ where $\mathrm{R}$ is more electronegative than $\mathrm{Q}$. Will these atoms share the electron pair equally between them?

Consider two covalently bonded atoms $\mathrm{Q}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ where $\mathrm{R}$ is more electronegative than $\mathrm{Q}$. Represent the polar covalent bond between $\mathrm{Q}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ using fractional charges ${\mathrm{\delta }}^{\oplus }$ and ${\mathrm{\delta }}^{⊝}$.
