Chapter 1, Problem 50P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The hybridization of the orbitals having unshared pair of electrons in CH3CH2 , H2C=CH and HCC needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: The hybridization is defined as mixing of atomic orbitals. The new hybrid orbitals are formed equal in the number of atomic orbitals involved in the mixing.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The relative abilities of CH3CH2 , H2C=CH and HCC to accommodate a negative charge needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction: The hybridization is defined as mixing of atomic orbitals. The new hybrid orbitals are formed equal in the number of atomic orbitals involved in the mixing.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The given species needs to be ranked in order of the acid strength.

Concept Introduction: The species which can form stable negative charge will be most acidic because it will readily donate hydrogen atom to attain stability.
