What is the molecular geometry of the underlined carbon atom in the following compound: HC-C-CH3?

Chemistry

Answer:

linear

Explanation:

If we look at the compound, we will understand that the underlined carbon is in sp hybridization. Recall that sp hybridization leads to a C-C bond angle of about 180°. When two chemical species are at a bond angle if 180°, then the both bonding groups are found to be on a straight line.

Hence, for any carbon in a triply bonded state or indeed any carbon atom that is in an sp will exhibit a linear geometry according to the Valence Shell Electron Pair repulsion Theory since there are two electron pairs present.

A bond formed when atoms transfer elentron is a bond
lubasha [3.4K]
Ionic bonds involve a cation and an anion. The bond is formed when an atom, typically a metal, loses an electron or electrons, and becomes a positive ion, or cation. Another atom, typically a non-metal, is able to acquire the electron(s) to become a negative ion, or anion.

One example of an ionic bond is the formation of sodium fluoride, NaF, from a sodium atom and a fluorine atom. In this reaction, the sodium atom loses its single valence electron to the fluorine atom, which has just enough space to accept it. The ions produced are oppositely charged and are attracted to one another due to electrostatic forces.
