(a)
Interpretation:
Hybridization of underlined
Concept Introduction:
Hybridization is the hypothetical concept of mixing of atomic orbital into hybrid orbitals that are of dissimilar shapes, energies and are appropriate for combination of electrons to form bonds in
Hybridization is calculated by the hybrid orbitals and to calculate hybrid orbitals we need to know the steric number that is given by,
The table that relates the steric number with hybridization is as follows:

Answer to Problem 2F.8E
The molecule
Explanation of Solution
The molecule
The symbol for carbon is
The symbol for hydrogen is
Its Lewis structure is as follows:
As from the structure above, 2 atoms are bonded to the underlined atom and 0 lone pair on it.
Substitute 2 for number of atoms bonded to the central atom and 0 for a number of lone pair on the central atom in equation (1) to find out the steric number.
Hence, the hybridization of
