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?
Give the shape that describes each hybrid orbital set:
(a) \({\rm{s}}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{2}}}\)
(b) \({\rm{s}}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{3}}}{\rm{d}}\)
(c) sp
(d) \({\rm{s}}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{3}}}{{\rm{d}}^{\rm{2}}}\)
Why is the concept of hybridization required in valence bond theory?
Predict the valence electron molecular orbital configurations for the following, and state whether they will be stable or unstable ions.
(a) \({\rm{N}}{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{2}}}^{{\rm{2 + }}}\)
(b) \({\rm{M}}{{\rm{g}}_{\rm{2}}}^{{\rm{2 + }}}\)
(c) \({\rm{A}}{{\rm{l}}_{\rm{2}}}^{{\rm{2 + }}}\)
(d) \({\rm{S}}{{\rm{i}}_{\rm{2}}}^{{\rm{2 + }}}\)
(e) \({\rm{P}}_{\rm{2}}^{{\rm{2 + }}}\)
(f) \({{\rm{S}}_{\rm{2}}}^{{\rm{2 + }}}\)
(g) \({{\rm{F}}_{\rm{2}}}^{{\rm{2 + }}}\)
(h) \({\rm{A}}{{\rm{r}}_{\rm{2}}}^{{\rm{2 + }}}\)
