Draw the Lewis structures for CH3OH, CH2O and HCOOH. Indicate the hybrid orbital used in the sigma bonds for each of the carbon atoms. For which of these compounds is the extent of oxidation the greatest? Explain why

See figure 1

Explanation:

For this question, we have to remember that in the lewis structures all atoms must have 8 electrons. And each atom would have a different value of valence electrons:

Carbon => 4

Oxygen=> 6

Hydrogen=> 1

Additionally, for the hybridizations we have to remember that:

=> 4 single bonds

=> 1 double bond

=> 1 double bond

With this in mind, the formaldehyde and formic acid would have carbons and the ethanol an carbon.

Finally, for the oxidation state. We have to remember that if we have more bonds with oxygen, we will have more oxidation. Therefore, the carbon that has more oxidation is the one in the formic acid (we have several bonds with oxygen).

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

when—without warning—something provokes your anger, you may struggle not to succumb to it. since what typically makes you mad is feeling powerless in the face of what seems unfair, your anger is mostly an attempt at a “quick fix” to right the balance. it’s as though you’re raising a fist in protest, proclaiming that you’re not going to capitulate to such injustice.

there are, however, a multitude of problems related to this immediate, push-back reaction of anger. and probably the key one is that almost never does it resolve the issue that gave rise to it. such reactive anger is probably best understood as self-defeating. as david burns, the author of the seminal self- book feeling good, observes: if realistically, acting on your anger is to make any sense, it needs to meet two criteria—which, in almost every case, is frankly impossible. that is, your anger must:

be directed toward a person who has intentionally (and needlessly) behaved in a hurtful way toward you; and

be beneficial or advantageous to you (i.e., assist you in achieving a desired goal).

i think you’ll agree that only rarely can you claim that your anger is both warranted and , whether to yourself or the relationship.

so let me offer you a two-step alternative to abandoning your better judgment and giving in to the temptation of anger—one that should neutralize your anger in seconds. or, when you’re really angry, in minutes.

but keep in mind that you must really want to execute these steps, be sufficiently motivated to perform them. which means overcoming more unconscious resistance than you might ever have imagined. because there are many immediate “advantages” of anger that can interfere with your resolve, i’ll suggest a few of them that might interfere with your employing this powerful method to rid yourself of counter-productive anger.
