In methane the central C atom is bonded to 4 H atoms forming 4 covalent bonds and adopts a tetrahedral geometry.

The valence electron configuration of C = 2s²2p²

H = 1s¹

In methane, one electron from the 2s orbital of C gets promoted to the 2p orbital creating 4 unpaired electrons. This mixing of the 2s-2p creates 4 sp3 hybrid orbitals each of which then bonds to the 1s orbital of H. Thus, in CH3, the C atom is sp3 hybridized.

This pattern of hybridization is also exhibited by CF2Cl2 in which the central C atom is spe3 hybridized and forms 4 covalent bonds: 2 C-F and 2 C-Cl

Ans: D) CF2Cl2

Two students are given the starting material benzoic acid and are asked to prepare benzaldehyde. The first student starts by ref
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Compound A: Benzoyl chloride

Compound B: Benzaldehyde - (tBuO)₃Al complex

Compound C: Benzaldehyde

Compound D: Benzyl alcohol

Explanation:

The lithium tri-tert-butoxyaluminum hydride that the first student used is a milder reagent than LAH and will stop reacting at the aldehyde.

The LAH that the second student used is much more reactive and will continue to reduce the benzoic acid as far as possible, going all the way to the alcohol.

See the attachment for the reaction steps.

chemical potential energy, thermal energy, electrical energy, sound energy

Explanation:

the coal is chemical potential energy because it is just sitting there, the coal fueled power plant is thermal energy because it is using the heat from the coal to work the power plant, that is then turned into electrical energy, which then goes to the radio which displays sound energy
