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. ...
Determine the hybridization of the atom by correlating the number of electron domains determined in Step 2 to the appropriate hybridization scheme. The five major hybrids are sp, sp2, sp3, sp3d and sp3d2, which correspond to two, three, four, five and six electron domains, respectively. Carb...
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 ...
A functional group is a specific group of atoms that helps determine the chemistry and reactivity of the overall molecule. When classifying functional groups, we look at both the specific atoms present, as well as the manner in which they are connected to each other. While there are an overwh...
