What is the hybridization of the central atom, electron geometry, and molecular geometry of H3CCCH?
1 answer:
Answer:
Hybridization: sp
Electron geometry: linear
Molecular geometry: linear
Explanation:
H₃CCCH can also be written as its Lewis structure which is shown in the figure attached. The figure shows that the central carbon atom makes a single bond with CH₃ and a triple bond with CH. This means that the hybridization of the carbon is sp and both the electron and molecular geometry are linear with an 180° bond angle.

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.
