Question

Draw the lewis structure of chocl and then determine the ideal bonding angle(s) of the central atom.

Answer 1

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.
