In this question, we have to calculate the molecular geometry of three labeled atoms.
00:09
To calculate the molecular geometry of any atom, we calculate the steric number.
00:15
Stereic number is number of sigma bonds coming from that central atom, plus number of lone pair.
00:32
So if i take c1, and if i calculate, so there are three sigma bonds coming out of this atom and there is no loan pair.
00:43
The carbon tetravalency is satisfied.
00:47
After calculating the sthetic number, we find the hybridization of this atom.
00:53
So hybridization means out of three, one will go in s hybridization and another two hybridized orbiters will reside into p.
01:07
So the hybridization will become sp2 hybridization.
01:10
The shape for sp2 hybridization is trigonal.
01:23
Same process if i apply for c2, we can see that there are four sigma bonds coming with no loan pair.
01:32
For hybridization of c2, one orbital will go in s and remaining three will go in s.
01:44
So the hybridization turns out to be sp3.
01:47
Sp3 hybridization with no loan pair leads to tetrapt...
