Label each carbon atom with the appropriate geometry. Label each carbon atom with the appropriate geometry.
general orientation
Concepts and reason
Before overlapping with the 1s orbital of hydrogen, the atomic orbitals of carbon first undergo hybridization to form hybrid orbitals. Carbon hybrid orbitals involve the formation of bonds with hydrogen. Thus, the geometry on each carbon depends on the type of hybridization.
Fundamentals
The geometry of the hybrid carbon atom is tetrahedral. The geometry of hybrid carbon atom is trigonal planar. The geometry of the hybrid carbon atom is linear.
Step by step
step 1 of 2
The hybridizations of each carbon of the molecule are as follows
If the carbon has 4 single bonds, then hybridization is. If the carbon has one double bond and two single bonds, then hybridization is. If the carbon has one triple bond or two double bonds, then hybridization is.
Make sure the carbon has hybridization if it has two double bonds.
[Hint for the next step]
From the hybridization of each carbon, identify the geometry.
step 2 of 2
The geometry of all carbon atoms is as follows:
Thus, the geometry of each carbon atom is as follows:
The geometry of all hybrid carbon atoms is tetrahedral. The geometry of all hybrid carbon atoms is trigonal planar and the geometry of all hybrid carbon atoms is linear.
