Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Hybridization of underlined
Concept Introduction:
Hybridization is the hypothetical concept of mixing of atomic orbital into hybrid orbitals that are of dissimilar shapes, energies and are appropriate for combination of electrons to form bonds in
Hybridization is calculated by the hybrid orbitals and to calculate hybrid orbitals we need to know the steric number that is given by,
The table that relates the steric number with hybridization is as follows:

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- Why do we hybtidize atomic orbitals to explain the bonding in covalent compounds? What type of bonds form from hybrid orbitals: sigma or pi? Explain.arrow_forwardAspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid, has the formula C9H8O4 and the skeleton structure (a) Complete the Lewis structure and give the number of bonds and bonds in aspirin. (b) What is the hybridization about the CO2H carbon atom (colored blue)? (c) What is the hybridization about the carbon atom in the benzene-like ring that is bonded to an oxygen atom (colored red)? Also, what is the hybridization of the oxygen atom bonded to this carbon atom?arrow_forwardGive the hybridization of each central atom in the following molecules. (a) cyclohexene (b) phosgene, Cl2CO (c) glycine, H2NC(1)H2C(2)OOH (Note: Numbers in parentheses label each carbon atom.)arrow_forward
- Specify the electron-pair and molecular geometry for each underlined atom in the following list. Describe the hybrid orbital set used by this atom in each molecule or ion. (a) CSe2 (b) SO2 (c) CH2O (d) NH4ssarrow_forwardSpecify the electron-pair and molecular geometry for each underlined atom in the following list. Describe the hybrid orbital set used by this atom in each molecule or ion. (a) BBr3 (b) CO2 (c) CH2Cl2 (d) CO32arrow_forwardWhy is the concept of hybridization required in valence bond theory?arrow_forward
- What are the relationships among bond order, bond energy, and bond length? Which of these quantities can be measured?arrow_forwardConsider the polyatomic ion IO65-. How many pairs of electrons are around the central iodine atom? What is its hybridization? Describe the geometry of the ion.arrow_forwardWhich atomic orbitals overlap to form the bonds in ClF?arrow_forward
- Identify the orbitals on each of the atoms that form the bonds in H3CCN. How many bonds and bonds form?arrow_forwardThe structure of amphetamine, a stimulant, is shown below. (Replacing one H atom on the NH2, or amino, group with CH3 gives methamphetamine a particularly dangerous drug commonly known as speed.) (a) What are the hybrid orbitals used by the C atoms of the C6 ring. by the C atoms of the side chain, and by the N atom? (b) Give approximate values for the bond angles A, B, and C. (c) How many bonds and bonds are in the molerule? (d) Is the molecule polar or nonpolar? (e) Amphetamine reacts readily with a proton (H+) in aqueous solution.
