To calculate the atomic mass of an element, the atomic masses of their isotopes must be considered. Their abundances must also be taken into account. This is the formula used for the calculation:
avg. atomic mass= ∑ <span>(isotope × abundance).

"Electric charge: the proton and electron are electrically charged, while the neutron is not. The proton and electron, however, are oppositely charged. Role in the atom: Protons and neutrons are closely bound together in the nucleus of an atom, while electrons are spread out around the nucleus."

What is the hybridization of the central atom, electron geometry, and molecular geometry of H3CCCH?

DIA [1.3K]

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.
