Hello, Im having trouble finding information about lidocaine

 

Im trying to find the :

 

-bond lengths and bond angles between the atoms

-The physical / chemical properties of the molecule

-intermolecular forces of attraction present that account for these properties

 

could anyone help please...I'd appreciate it..thank you

Do you need exact values for angles or? This is going to be a guess, but looking at the molecule on wiki I would say that bond angles around carbonyl carbon are 120° in sp2 hybridisation as well as around nitrogen on alpha position.. if I remember correctly, 120° too, in sp2 hybrid.

 

As for intermolecular forces I would guess there would be hydrogen bonding as hydrogen is bonded to decently electronegative element - N, and N can provide pair of electrons.

 

As for properties.. well it melts at 68°C, I'd say this compound is 'fragile' if you can relate to that but I think you need to explain it in terms of forces etc...

 

Hope that gives you some hints. Back to my math now exam tomorrow!
