Give the hybridization for the c in hcch. group of answer choices

Tamiku [17]1 year ago

The hybridization for C in acetylene, HCCH, or C₂H₂ is 'sp'.

Discussion:

There are three different forms of hybridization -

  1. sp- The first occurs when two carbon atoms are triple linked.
  2. sp₂- When two carbon atoms are double-bonded to one another, this is known as sp₂.
  3. sp₃- When a single bond joins two carbon atoms, this is known as sp₃.

In the case of acetylene(HCCH or C₂H₂):

  • The carbon atom requires additional electrons to establish four bonds with hydrogen and other carbon atoms in the synthesis of C₂H₂. One 2s₂ pair is consequently transferred to the vacant 2pz orbital. Each carbon has two sp hybrid orbitals after the 2s orbital in each atom combines with one of the 2p orbitals.
  • As a result of the atoms' symmetrical alignment in a single plane, C₂H₂ possesses a linear molecular structure. Due to their lower electronegative nature than Hydrogen atoms, all Carbon atoms are situated near the center of the Lewis structure of C₂H₂.

                                              H-C≡C-H

Therefore, it is concluded from the above discussion that the hybridization type of acetylene is 'sp'.

The by-product of the chlorination of an alkane is​
Elanso [62]

The by-product of the chlorination of an alkane is​  <u>HCl</u>

Explanation:

  • Chlorination is the process of adding chlorine to drinking water to disinfect it and kill germs. Different processes can be used to achieve safe levels of chlorine in drinking water.
  • Chlorination of alkane gives a mixture of different products.
  • When consider mechanism of alkanes chlorination, free radicals are formed during the reaction to keep the continuous reaction.
  • Different alkyl chloride compounds, extended carbon chains compounds and HCl are formed as products in product mixture.
  • Chlorination byproducts, their toxicodynamics and removal from drinking water.
  • Halogenated trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) are two major classes of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) commonly found in waters disinfected with chlorine
  • Chlorine is available as compressed elemental gas, sodium hypochlorite solution (NaOCl) or solid calcium hypochlorite (Ca(OCl)2
