The cyclic organic compound is planar in naturewhen the carbon present in the ring is sp2 hybridized and all carbon atoms lie in the same plane. Note: Not all the rings of other sizes have sp2hybridization but for a six membered ring the carbon is always sp2hybridized. ...
Sp2 Hybridization A steric number of three leads to the formation of sp2 orbitals. The bond angles depend on the number of lone electron pairs. For example, boron trichloride has no lone pairs, a trigonal planar shape and bond angles of 120 degrees. The trioxygen molecule O3 has one lone ...
There are certain rules to determine how the atomic orbitals are mixed that basically come down to the fact that, to interact, the atomic orbitals have to have similar energy and appropriate symmetry. Moving on: the hybridization model is frequently used in organic chemistry treatments because it...
What is the lewis structure for GeCl_6-2, determine the hybridization on the center atom and what are the sigma and pi bonds? How many covalent bonds does carbon form if each of its unpaired electrons participate in one bond? What does the Lewis structure for carbon dioxide show on th...
From the above, we can see that the ˙OOH radical is highly selective with the functional groups with which it interacts, we can see that sites 7 and 8 are carbons with sp2 hybridization which have an electron-donating character, but cannot release the electron to neutralize to the radical,...
