The chemical formula is composed of hydrogen and oxygen where the two atoms are bonded through hydrogen bond type of bonding. In this pair, the oxygen is the more electronegative atom hence the electrons are more directed to it. Because of this, this creates electron polarity which affects the chemical property of water.

Which are the hybrid orbitals of the carbon atoms in the following molecules? (a) H3C―CH3 sp sp2 sp3 (b) H3C―CH═CH2 sp sp2 sp3 (

kherson [118]

Answer:

(a) sp³ sp³

H₃C - CH₃

(b) sp³ sp²

H₃C - CH = CH₂

sp²

H₃C - C ≡ C - CH₂OH

sp sp³

(d) sp³ sp²

H₃C - CH=O

Explanation:

Alkanes or the carbons with all the single bonds are sp³ hybridized.

Alkenes or the carbons with double bond(s) are sp² hybridized.

Alkynes or the carbons with triple bond are sp hybridized.

Considering:

(a) H₃C-CH₃ , Both the carbons are bonded by single bond so both the carbons are sp³ hybridized.

Hence,

sp³ sp³

H₃C - CH₃

(b) H₃C-CH=CH₂ , The carbon of the methyl group is sp³ hybridized as it is boned via single bonds. The rest 2 carbons are sp² hybridized because they are bonded by double bond.

Hence,

sp³ sp²

H₃C - CH = CH₂

sp²

(c) H₃C-C≡C-CH₂OH , The carbons of the methyl group and alcoholic group are sp³ hybridized as it is boned via single bonds. The rest 2 carbons are sp hybridized because they are bonded by triple bond.

Hence,

sp³ sp

H₃C - C ≡ C - CH₂OH

sp sp³

(d)CH₃CH=O, The carbon of the methyl group is sp³ hybridized as it is boned via single bonds. The other carbon is sp² hybridized because it is bonded by double bond to oxygen.

Hence,

sp³ sp²

H₃C - CH=O
