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 (c) CH3―C≡C―CH2OH sp sp2 sp3 (d) CH3CH═O sp sp2 sp3

Respuesta :

Answer:

(a)  sp³    sp³

   H₃C - CH₃

(b)     sp³           sp²

     H₃C - CH = CH₂

                sp²

(c)     sp³        sp    

    H₃C - CC - 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 - CC - 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

     

Hybrid orbitals are orbitals that are obtained by the combination of two or more orbitals in an atom.

Sometimes, the properties of compounds are explained on the basis of the facts that atomic orbitals used in forming the compounds are hybridized. Each of the hybridized orbitals are equivalent and are used in bonding.

In the following compounds, the hybridized carbon orbitals are as follows;

  • H3C―CH3 - sp3
  • H3C―CH═CH2  - sp2 and sp3
  • CH3―C≡C―CH2OH - sp3 and sp
  • CH3CH═O - sp3 and sp2

Triple bonds between carbon atoms involve sp hybridized carbon atoms. Double bonds between carbon atoms involve spw hybridized carbon atoms. Single bonds between carbon atoms involve sp3 hybridized carbon atoms.
