Chapter 3, Problem 6CTQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reason behind each orbital of 120° hybrid orbital set is called as sp2 hybrid orbital should be explained.

Concept introduction: Two or more of orbitals undergo redistributions of their different energies so as to form mathematically averaged orbitals in terms of energy although they may differ in shape and orientation. The energy and orientation of the new hybrid orbital depends upon by the kind and number of orbitals used in the hybridization.

Harry creates a compound that contains only 1 pi (π) bond in total. The central atom has 4s2, 3d10, and 4p5. There are only 3 surrounding atoms with the electron configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p5. What is the formula and VSEPR shape for this compound? Explain how this is possible with respect to hybridized orbitals and how electrons are moved around to create this compound.
Out of p-orbital and sp-hybrid orbital which has greater directional character and Why?
2) a) Consider the following molecule . Given what you have learned about hybridization theory, draw an image or images explaining the bonding situation in this molecule. I want you to draw out all of the orbitals, hybrid orbitals and how they overlap to form the bonds in the molecule. Indicate the % s or p character in the given atomic and hybrid orbitals. Which C-C bond or bonds are the longest? In a paragraph or so explain the image or images you just drew. b) Lastly, consider the molecule below. Indicate the Molecular formula, the molar mass, label the hybridization of each atom except for hydrogen, indicate any chiral centers with a *, which bond or bonds are the shortest, identify by name of each functional group with an arrow pointing to the group.
