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.
