Is Acetaminophen ionic, molecular or organic compound

A molecular compound.

Acetaminophen is an interesting compound in that has at least 3 specific types of functional groups.

LOOK UP THE STRUCTURE FOR Acetaminophen. It will make it clearer.

Or,

Draw a Benzene ring. This is the archetypal “aromatic ring”. 6 carbons in a ring with 3 alternating unsaturations or “double bonds”. It is planar, and follows the 2n + 2 rule for aromaticity. (Where n = 2, so (2 x 2) + 2 = 6. (The three unsaturations; you may not have seen all this yet, but you will, so bear with me).

The 2nd functional group, a -OH or a Hydroxyl group, behaves VERY differently on an aromatic ring than on an alkane. The resonance stabilization (of the aromatic ring), allows the Hydrogen to disassociate from the -OH to yield Aromatic ring—O - + H+ when it is in a polar solution, like water. Phenol is the simplest example.

3rd functional group is a methyl Amide. This amide is —NH—COCH3 (trans). Amides are a N bonded to a H and a carbon bearing a double bonded Oxygen, and the same carbon, in this example, a methyl group. There is a resonance between the N and O, but the structure you see is the lowest energy and most stable. Place the —OH Exactly opposite on the ring to the methyl amide, in the 1,4, or para position.

This may be overdoing it, but it never hurts to learn functional groups as soon as possible.

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
