What is the molecular geometry of the left carbon atom (circled) in acetic acid? The left carbon atom is attached to three hydro

gen atoms and one carbon atom through single bonds. The right carbon atom is attached to a carbon atom and an oxygen atom through single bonds and a second oxygen atom through a double bond.

Answer:  Tetrahedral geometry

Explanation: The structure of the acetic acid is shown in the image below.

The left carbon atom is the one which is attached to three hydrogen atoms through single bonds and to one carbon atom through single bond as well.

Thus the orbitals which are used in the process of the formation of the chemical bond between these 4 are sp3 orbitals. And these orbitals results in the formation of the tetrahedral geometry.

The right carbon atom that is attached to a  carbon atom and an oxygen atom through single bonds and a second oxygen atom through a double bond has trigonal planar geometry which involves the sp2 orbitals for the formation of the bond.

Which of the following represents the greatest number of atoms?
forsale [732]
The correct option is B. To get the number of atom for each compound, each element in the compound will be counted as an atom. For instance, for Fe[ClO4]2, there are 1 atom of Fe, 2 atoms of Cl, and 8 atoms of O, making a total of 11 atoms [1 + 2 + 8= 11]. The other options have less than 11 atoms.
