Draw a triacylglycerol (triglyceride) made from glycerol, myristic acid [CH3(CH2)12COOH], palmitic acid [CH3(CH2)14COOH], and ol
eic acid [CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)7COOH(cis)]. Place palmitic acid at the middle position. Cis/trans isometry is graded

Answer:
The triglyceride made from glycerol, myristic acid, palmitic acid and cis-oleic acid is shown in the attached pictures.
Explanation:
A triglyceride or triacylglyceride is an ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acids. The fatty acids of this exercise are myristic acid, palmitic acid and oleic acid.
A fatty acid is a biomolecule of lipid nature formed by a long linear hydrocarbon chain, of different length or number of carbon atoms, at the end of which is a carboxyl group.
The myristic acid has a carbon chain of 14 carbon atoms with a carboxyl group at one end.
Palmitic acid has a carbon chain of 16 carbon atoms with a carboxyl group at one end.
Oleic acid has a carbon chain of 18 carbon atoms with a carboxyl group at one end and a double bond at position 9.
Triglyceride is formed by the esterification of the glycerol oxidrile group and the carboxyl acid group.

Explanation:
1) The Lewis structure for has a central Carbon<em> </em>atom attached to Oxygen atoms.
In the we will have a structure: O=C=O the <u>central atom</u> "carbon" we will have <u>2 sigma bonds and 2 pi bonds</u>, therefore, we have an <u>Sp hybridization</u>. For O we have <u>1 pi and 1 sigma bond</u>, therefore, we have an <u>Sp2 hybridization</u>.
2) These atoms are held together by <u>double bonds.</u>
<u></u>
Again in the structure of : O=C=O we only have double bonds.
3. Carbon dioxide has a Carbon dioxide has a <u>Linear</u> electron geometry.
Due to the double bonds we have to have a linear structure because in this geometry the atoms will be further apart from each other.
4. The carbon atom is <u>Sp</u> hybridized.
We will have for carbon 2 pi bonds, so we will have an <u>Sp</u> hybridization.
5. Carbon dioxide has two Carbon dioxide has two C(p) - O(p) π bonds and two C(sp) - O(Sp2) σ bonds.
