QUESTION:

Predict the hybridization and geometry around each indicated atom. a. CH3CH2 c. (CH3)3O+ e. CH3 C C H g. CH3CH C CH2 b. d. CH2Cl f. CH2 NOCH3

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 7

Atomic orbitals having the same energy are mixed to obtain degenerate orbitals in hybridization. The orbitals obtained as a result of hybridization are referred to as hybrid orbitals. The theory used for predicting the geometry of molecules is referred to as the VSEPR Theory. The different types of geometry include trigonal planar, tetrahedral, linear etc.
