Consider the lewis structures for h2cch2, h2ccch2, and h2cccch2. what hybridization should be expected for the ch2 carbon and the middle ccc carbon, respectively?

Respuesta :

Answer:

CH2 --> sp2 hybridization.

C-C-C --> sp hybridization.

Explanation:

The CH2 has two simple bonds to the H and one double bond to another C. This means that in the hybridization of this C are involved 3 orbitals: 1 s and 2 p, resulting in a sp2 hybridization.

The C-C-C central carbon has two double bonds, one to each C. This means that in the hybridization of this C are involved 2 orbitals: 1 s and 1 p, resulting in a sp hybridization.
