Concept explainers
a) Propane, CH3CH2CH3.
Interpretation:
The hybridization expected for each carbon atom in propane, CH3CH2CH3 is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Carbon uses hybridized orbitals for forming bonds with other atoms. A carbon in sp3 hybridized state can form four single bonds. A carbon in sp2 hybridized state can form a double bond and two single bonds. A carbon in sp hybridized state can form a triple bond and a single bond or two double bonds with its neighboring atoms.
b) 2- Methyl propene.
Interpretation:
The hybridization expected for each carbon atom in 2- methyl propene is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Carbon uses hybridized orbitals for forming bonds with other atoms. A carbon in sp3 hybridized state can form four single bonds. A carbon in sp2 hybridized state can form a double bond and two single bonds. A carbon in sp hybridized state can form a triple bond and a single bond or two double bonds with its neighboring atoms.
c) But-1-ene-3-yne.
Interpretation:
The hybridization expected for each carbon atom in but-1-ene-3-yne is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Carbon uses hybridized orbitals for forming bonds with other atoms. A carbon in sp3 hybridized state can form four single bonds.

- Prostaglandin F2α, a hormone that causes uterine contraction during childbirth, has the following structure. Are the two hydroxyl groups (-OH) on the cyclopentane ring cis or trans to each other? What about the two carbon chains attached to the ring?arrow_forwardIf you rotate the hydrogen atoms to a different position in a a model of C2H6 by turning about the central C—C bond, do you get different structural (or constitutional) isomers of C2H5Cl?arrow_forwardThe carbon–carbon bond length in C2H2 is 1.20 Å, that inC2H4 is 1.34 Å, and that in C2H6 is 1.53 Å. Near which ofthese values would you predict the bond length of C2 tolie? Is the experimentally observed value, 1.31 Å, consistent with your prediction?arrow_forward
