Chapter 3: Q. 25 E-a (page 88)

Predict the hybridization of the carbon atom in each of the following

Functional groups:

(c) Carboxylic acid

Short Answer

Expert verified

(c)The hybridization of the carbon atom is sp2 hybridization.

Step by step solution

01

Hybridization

The extension of valence bond theory results in the hybridization concept.The bond energies, bond formation, and bond length can be understood with the help of hybridization.

02

Step 2:Hybridization of the carbon atom in carboxylic acid

(c) In carboxylic acid, the carbon atom is involved in double bond formation with the oxygen atom. Hence, the carbon atom is sp2hybridized.
