Social media like blogs has come between us and the friends whom we love.

This is the woman scientist whose name is known all over the country.
这就是那位闻名全国的女科学家。
He lives in a room whose window faces north.
他住在一个窗子朝北的房间里。
(2)whose+名词可以转化为the+名词+of which/whom, 因为在此结构中whose作前置定语,可以转化为介词短语of which/whom作后置定语。
This is the scientist whose name is known all over the country.
This is the scientist the name of whom is known all over the country.
