Lewis structure
Draw the Lewis structure of 2, 2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane. Start by drawing the overall structure of the molecule, ignoring potential double and triple bonds: Count the total valence electrons of the carbon (n_C, val = 4), fluorine (n_F, val = 7), hydrogen (n_H, val = 1), and oxygen (n_O, val = 6) atoms: 15 n_C, val + 6 n_F, val + 10 n_H, val + 2 n_O, val = 124 Calculate the number of electrons needed to completely fill the valence shells for carbon (n_C, full = 8), fluorine (n_F, full = 8), hydrogen (n_H, full = 2), and oxygen (n_O, full = 8): 15 n_C, full + 6 n_F, full + 10 n_H, full + 2 n_O, full = 204 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 204 - 124 = 80 bonding electrons are needed. Each bond has two electrons, so in addition to the 34 bonds already present in the diagram add 6 bonds. To minimize formal charge carbon wants 4 bonds. Identify the atoms that want additional bonds and the number of electrons remaining on each atom: Fill in the 6 bonds by pairing electrons between adjacent highlighted atoms. Note that the six atom rings are aromatic, so that the single and double bonds may be rearranged: Answer: | |

Elemental composition
Find the elemental composition for 2, 2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane in terms of the atom and mass percents: atom percent = N_i/N_atoms × 100% mass percent = (N_im_i)/m × 100% Plan: • Write the chemical formula and gather atomic masses from the periodic table. • Determine values for N_i, m_i, N_atoms and m using these items. • Finally, compute the percents and check the results. Write the chemical formula: C_15H_10F_6O_2 Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element and find the total number of atoms, N_atoms, per molecule: | number of atoms O (oxygen) | 2 C (carbon) | 15 F (fluorine) | 6 H (hydrogen) | 10 N_atoms = 2 + 15 + 6 + 10 = 33 Divide each N_i by N_atoms to calculate atom fractions.

Elemental oxidation states
The first step in finding the oxidation states (or oxidation numbers) in 2, 2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane is to draw the structure diagram. Next set every oxidation number equal to the atom's formal charge: In 2, 2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane hydrogen is not bonded to a metal with lower electronegativity, so it will have an oxidation state of +1. Any element bonded to hydrogen gains the bonding electrons, decreasing their oxidation state by 1 for every bond: With hydrogen out of the way, look at the remaining bonds. There are 6 carbon-fluorine bonds, 2 carbon-oxygen bonds, and 16 carbon-carbon bonds. For each of these bonds, assign the bonding electrons to the most electronegative element. First examine the carbon-fluorine bonds: element | electronegativity (Pauling scale) | C | 2.55 | F | 3.98 | | | Since fluorine is more electronegative than carbon, the electrons in these bonds will go to fluorine. Decrease the oxidation number for fluorine in every highlighted bond (by 1 for single bonds, 2 for double bonds, and 3 for triple bonds), and increase the oxidation number for carbon accordingly: Next look at the carbon-oxygen bonds: element | electronegativity (Pauling scale) | C | 2.55 | O | 3.44 | | | Since oxygen is more electronegative than carbon, the electrons in these bonds will go to oxygen: Next look at the carbon-carbon bonds: element | electronegativity (Pauling scale) | C | 2.55 | C | 2.55 | | | Since these elements are the same the bonding electrons are shared equally, and there is no change to the oxidation states: Now summarize the results: Answer: | | oxidation state | element | count -2 | O (oxygen) | 2 -1 | C (carbon) | 8 | F (fluorine) | 6 0 | C (carbon) | 3 +1 | C (carbon) | 2 | H (hydrogen) | 10 +3 | C (carbon) | 2
Orbital hybridization
First draw the structure diagram for 2, 2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane, and for every non-hydrogen atom, count the σ-bonds. Note that double and triple bonds consist of one σ-bond together with one or two π-bonds: Identify those atoms with lone pairs: Find the steric number by adding the lone pair count to the number of σ-bonds: Consult the following chart to determine the hybridization from the steric number: steric number | hybridization 2 | sp 3 | sp^2 4 | sp^3 5 | dsp^3 6 | d^2sp^3 7 | d^3sp^3 Assign the provisional hybridization based on the table: Next identify any sp^3 atoms with lone pair electrons which can participate in a conjugated π-bond system. These atoms can lower their energy by placing a lone pair in a unhybridized p orbital to maximize overlap with the neighboring π-bonds. Note that halogens and elements from the third period and below do not engage in bond conjugation, except in the case of aromaticity: Adjust the provisional hybridizations to arrive at the result: Answer: | |
