Draw the lewis structure of chocl and then determine the ideal bonding angle(s) of the central atom.
1 answer:
Lewis structure of CHOCl is on the picture below.
The ideal bonding angle(s) of the central atom are 120°.
CHOCl is formyl chloride.
Formyl chloride is the organic compound.
Central atom is a carbon atom.
Electron configuration of carbon: 6C: 1s² 2s² 2p²
It has four valence electrons in 2s and 2p orbitals.
In this compound, a carbon atom is sp2 hybridized, it has three sp2 orbitals and one p orbital, they form four bonds. Molecule has planar structrure and bond angles between atoms are 120°.
Oxygen has two p orbitals, that form two bonds (one sigma and one pi bond).
p-orbitals from carbon and oxygen overlap and form pi bond.

A carbon which is attached to four different atoms or group of atoms with different environment is called as Chiral Carbon or Asymmetric Carbon.
Non-<span>superimposable:
</span> The mirror image (molecule) of chiral carbon cotaining compounds are Non.Superimposable on each other. They are called enantiomers of each other.
Polarized Light and Chiral Carbon:
When a polarized light is allowed to fall on either enantiomer of chiral compound, it is rotated other clockwise or anti-clockwise.
Examples:
Below are three axamples of compounds containing chiral carbon.
