Hybridization in Organic Compounds
Asked by Krishna Patelarendra · 1 year ago
What are the different types of hybridization in carbon atoms?
1 Answer
The different types of hybridization in carbon atoms are:
1. sp3 hybridization:
- Tetrahedral geometry
- Found in alkanes (C-C single bonds)
- Bond angle: 109.5°
2. sp2 hybridization:
- Trigonal planar geometry
- Found in alkenes (C=C double bonds)
- Bond angle: 120°
3. sp hybridization:
- Linear geometry
- Found in alkynes (C≡C triple bonds)
- Bond angle: 180°
