What are the hybridization states of the carbon atoms in the following molecules?

Chemistry

ScanSolve AI Answer

To identify the type of hybridization for each labeled carbon atom, we count the number of sigma (σ\sigma) bonds and pi (π\pi) bonds around each carbon.

  • A carbon atom with four single bonds (4 σ\sigma bonds) is sp3sp^3 hybridized.
  • A carbon atom with one double bond and two single bonds (3 σ\sigma bonds, 1 π\pi bond) is sp2sp^2 hybridized.
  • A carbon atom with one triple bond and one single bond (2 σ\sigma bonds, 2 π\pi bonds) or two double bonds (2 σ\sigma bonds, 2 π\pi bonds) is spsp hybridized.

Let's analyze each molecule:
