Predict the hybridization and geometry around each indicated atom. a. CH3CH2 c. (CH3)3 e. CH3-C C-H g. CH3CH=C=CH2 b. d. CH C f. CH2 NOCH3
Added by Mariano G.
Step 1
CH3CH2: - The carbon atom in CH3 has three single bonds and one lone pair of electrons, so it has sp3 hybridization and tetrahedral geometry. - The carbon atom in CH2 has two single bonds and two lone pairs of electrons, so it has sp3 hybridization and Show more…
