Concept introduction:
Hybridization is a hypothetical phenomenon where atomic orbitals combine to form new hybrid orbitals takes place.
In the chemical bonding, an antibonding molecular orbital is a type of molecular orbital which is to weaken the chemical bond present between two atoms and therefore the energy of the molecules increases.On the other hand, bonding molecular orbitals are the kind of orbitals which contain electrons that are present between the nuclei and hence they stabilize the molecule.

- Explain through the hybridization of the carbons and the bond angles of the hybridization.arrow_forwardThe bond lengths of ethane, ethene, and ethyne were determined, and a graph of the C-H bond length vs. % s-character of the C hybrid orbital was made. Comment on the observed trend, additionally. How would this trend change if C-H bond energy vs. % s-character of the C hybrid orbital was graphed? Which hydrocarbon has the strongest carbon-carbon bond?arrow_forwardExamine the sigma bonding in ethene. What types of orbitals does each C atom use when forming sigma bonds to the H atoms? s orbial p orbitals Ohybrid orbitals Submit What type of orbital does each C atom use to form a sigma bond to the other C atom? s orbial p orbitals hybrid orbitals O Submit Now examine the pi bonding in ethene. What types of orbitals on the C atoms are used to form the pi bond? Os orbital p orbitals hybrid orbitals Submitarrow_forward
- To expand on the discussion of carbon valence and hybridization, provide two simple hydrocarbons that have carbon atoms ranging from 3 to 8. Identify the hybridization and bond angles with respect to the carbon atoms. Number the sigma bonds and pi bonds present. Include a drawing of their structure.arrow_forwardWhat is the hybridization state and molecular geometry of the carbon atom in the following functional groups a) Ketone: b) Carboxylic acid: c) Alkyme:arrow_forwardIn the spaces provided, indicate the type of bond, and the hybridized orbitals that overlap to form the bond.arrow_forward
- (a) How does the structure of diborane (B2H6) differ fromthat of ethane (C2H6)? (b) Explain why diborane adoptsthe geometry that it does. (c) What is the significance ofthe statement that the hydrogen atoms in diborane aredescribed as “hydridic”?arrow_forwardTwo useful organic compounds that contain Cl atoms are vinyl chloride (CH2 = CHCI) and chloroethane (CH;CH;CI). Vinyl chloride is the starting material used to prepare poly (vinyl chloride), a plastic used in insulation, pipes, and bottles. Chloroethane (ethyl chloride) is a local anesthetic. Why is the C- Cl bond of vinyl chloride stronger than the C– CIl bond in chloroethane.arrow_forwardDraw structural formulas for all linear (not ring) constitutional isomers that have the molecular formula C4H4 and indicate which of the following they possess: 1. sp hybridized carbon atoms 2. sp2 hybridized carbon atoms 3. sp3 hybridized carbon atoms 4. sigma bonds, pi bondsarrow_forward
- The following compound is a bioactive natural product derived from marine sponges: a) Predict the orbital hybridization and geometry around each of the indicated atom. b) Name the functional groups present in the compound. c)  Find the C-O bond(s) containing a C atom having a hybrid orbital with 50% s-character. Indicate this with an asterisk (*) in the structure. d) What is the molecular formula of the compound?arrow_forwardDraw electron configuration diagrams for carbon in an unhybridized, sp3 -hybridized state, sp2 -hybridized state, and sp-hybridized state.arrow_forwardCompare the bonding in formic acid (HCOOH) with that in its conjugate base formate ion (HCOO). Each molecule has a central carbon atom bonded to the two oxygen atoms and to a hydrogen atom. Draw Lewis diagrams, determine the steric numbers and hybridization of the central carbon atom, and give the molecular geometries. How do the orbitals differ in formic acid and the formate molecular ion? The bond lengths of the CO bonds in HCOOH are 1.23 (for the bond to the lone oxygen) and 1.36 (for the bond to the oxygen with a hydrogen atom attached). In what range of lengths do you predict the CO bond length in the formate ion to lie?arrow_forward
