Indicate the hybridization of the central atom for the specie: {eq}\displaystyle \rm HCN {/eq} Hybridization The number of sigma bonds and the non-bonding electrons around the central atom gives the number of hybrid orbitals formed in the molecule. According to the number of the hybrid or...
If atom forms more than four bond or has sum of sigma bond and lone pair of electron more than four, then atom could be{eq}dsp^3,\\ sp^3d,\\ sp^3d^2\ {/eq} depending on nature of atom and atoms with which it has its bond. ...
Some binary covalent compounds have a simple molecular unit in which a single central atom is bonded to multiple terminal atoms. The central atom may retain some of its starting valence electrons, resulting in non-bonding (lone) pairs. Overall,...
Which of the carbon atoms, in the structure above, are sp^2 hybridized? a) 1 and 2 b) 3 and 8 c) 1 and 10 d) 8 and 9 e) 8 and 11 f) 5 and 6 Which of the following molecules has a central atom that is sp^3 hybridized? A) CH...
The molecular geometry of a certain compound can be predicted by finding the valence electrons of central atom and the number of monovalent atoms surrounded it. The following formula is used to find the hybridization which helps in the prediction...
