Step 3: Analyze Acetylene (C2H2)- Hybridization: Each carbon in C2H2 is sp hybridized due to the triple bond between the two carbon atoms.- Geometry: The structure is linear because the two sp hybridized carbons are connected by a triple bond, and there are no lone pairs affecting the geom...
Resonance is a phenomenon that increases the stability of organic molecules. It involves delocalization pi electrons with the lone pair of another double bond. This factor is greatly responsible for the stability of negative charge and thus increases the acidity of...
With the aid of a diagram, describe how the overlap of one 2p orbital from each of two atoms forms a sigma bond, but the overlap of the remaining two 2p orbitals from each atom forms pi bonds. Indicate which orbitals overlap to form the ? bond between the...
