Answer:
The approximate bond angle around the central carbon atom in acrolein is 120°.
Explanation:
The structure of acrolein is shown in the attachment. From the structure, we can deduce that the central carbon atom is in an sp2 hybridization (Atoms with a double bond hybridize in an sp2 fashion).
Atoms with sp2 hybridization have trigonal planar geometry, in this kind of hybridization, bonds are oriented the farthest away possible from each other, to minimize overlapping and the angle that allows that is 120°.
Answer : The Lewis-dot structure of is shown below.
Explanation :
Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.
In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.
The given molecule is,
As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, chlorine has '7' valence electron and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.
Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in = 1(4) + 2(7) + 1(6) = 24
According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 16 number of non-bonding electrons.
