A carbanion is a species that contains a negatively charged, trivalent carbon.

(a) What is the electronic relationship between a carbanion and a trivalent nitrogen compound such as NH3?
(b) How many valence electrons does the negatively charged carbon atom have?
(c) What hybridization do you expect this carbon atom to have?
(d) What geometry is the carbanion likely to have?
Following is a molecular model of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid). Identify the hybridization of the orbitals on each carbon atom in aspirin, and tell which atoms have lone pairs of electrons (gray 5 C, pink 5 O, ivory 5 H).
