- Bonds between carbon and oxygen are polar covalent and moderately covalent bonds.
- Bonds between carbon and hydrogen are very covalent.
- Bonds between nitrogen and hydrogen are polar and moderately covalent.
- Bonds between nitrogen and carbon are quite covalent.
VSEPR Form
The molecule in its entirety does not have a VSEPR form because one cannot be identified without the presence of a central atom. However, bond angles and descriptions can be determined for certain parts of the molecule.
This molecule would be considered cyclic because of the presence of the Carbon ring.
The uncompounded formula of epinephrine is (HO)2C6H3CH(CH2NHCH3)OH.
The HO's attached to carbon atoms are AX2E2 and have a bent shape, with a bond angle of 109.5º.
The ring of 6 carbon atoms is known as a benzine ring, and the bond angles measure 120º. Three of the bonds are double bonds.
Carbon atoms with one hydrogen atom, CH, are linear and are 180º.
