CHEM10050 Identify three polar covalent bonds (involving different pairs of elements) in the structure and draw the partial charges on the atoms involved.

3. The structure of a vitamin is shown below. (part a is from L2, parts b-d from L3)

a) Write the line structure for this vitamin adding all the lone pairs to your structure (6 marks)
b) Identify the functional groups in the vitamin (4 marks)
c) Identify three polar covalent bonds (involving different pairs of elements) in the structure and draw the partial charges on the atoms involved.
d) Identify two potentially nucleophilic atoms and two potentially electrophilic atoms in your structure, giving a very brief explanation in each case.
