Q
Q: Which molecule exhibits sp hybridization?
Solution:
In CO2, the carbon atom is sp hybridized as it forms two double bonds with oxygen.
Steps: 7
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what hybridization means. Hybridization is the mixing of atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals.
Step 2: Identify the types of hybridization. Common types include sp, sp2, and sp3.
Step 3: Know that sp hybridization occurs when one s orbital and one p orbital mix, resulting in two sp hybrid orbitals.
Step 4: Look at the molecule CO2 (carbon dioxide). It consists of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
Step 5: Determine the bonding in CO2. The carbon atom forms two double bonds with the two oxygen atoms.
Step 6: Recognize that to form two double bonds, the carbon atom needs to use two sp hybrid orbitals.
Step 7: Conclude that since carbon in CO2 forms two double bonds, it is sp hybridized.
