Chapter 8: Q3 CYL (page 424)

Acetic acid, H3CC(O)OH, is the molecule that gives vinegar its odor and sour taste. What is the hybridization of the two carbon atoms in acetic acid?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The sp3d hybridization of H3C and sp2 of C(O)OH.

Step by step solution

01

Define hybridization

Hybridization is a concept in organic chemistry that is used to explain chemical bonding when the valence bond theory fails to provide an adequate explanation. This hypothesis is particularly useful for explaining organic molecules' covalent bonding.

02

Explanation

The hybridization in H3C is sp3 and C(O)OH is sp2.
