1) Going from left to right, determine the hybridization
for each carbon atom in the following molecule
(CH3COCH3, acetone):
a. How many "center atoms" are present in this molecule?
What element(s) is/are they?
b. Going from left to right, calculate the formal charge
for center atom. Also, calculate the formal charge for the
oxygen atom.
c. Going from left to right, indicate how many electron
domains each center atom has.
d. Going from left to right, name the electron domain
geometry for each center atom.
e. Based upon the electron domains, what is the angle of
the H-C-C bonds? What is the angle of the C-C-O bonds?
f. Going from left to right, indicate how many bonding
domains and nonbonding domains each center atom has.
g. Going from left to right, name the molecular geometry
for each center atom.
h. What is the total number of sigma bonds and pi
bonds?
i. For the C-C bond, identify the type(s) of bond(s) and
the orbitals that make up that bond.
j. For the C-H bond, identify the type(s) of bond(s) and the
orbitals that make up that bond.
k. For the C-O bond, identify the type(s) of bond(s) and
the orbitals that make up that bond.
