A drug or medicine some research

Explain the structures of a momoene and a diene.

Give reason for the following:

(ii) Aniline is less basic than ammonia.

Compounds A and B was discovered by a group of scientists. Compound A is a dipeptide, optically inactive. While compound B is a tripeptide and optically active. Compound A is formed when compound C and compound D joined together by condensation reaction. Whereas monomers E and F are formed by modifying the compounds C and D. Polymer G is formed by the condensation reaction of monomers E and F.

Draw the possible structural formulae of compounds A, B, C, D, E, F and polymer G.

Label the peptide bond(s) for compounds A and B.

With the aid of diagram, discuss why compounds A and B are classified as an optically inactive compound and optically active compound, respectively?

Draw the possible structural formulae for repeating unit of polymer G.

How would you distinguish between polymer G and their repeating unit?
