Question

Predict the hybridisation state of each carbon atom in the following compounds:

CH3 CH2 C CH C C CH3
CH2
CH C O
O
CH3 CO2

Answer 1

Predict the hybridisation state of each carbon atom in the following compounds:

CH3 CH2 C CH C C CH3

CH2

CH C O

O

CH3 CO2

solution

A) CH3 CH2 C CH C C CH3

From left to right we do numbering

CH3 = sp3

CH2 = sp3

C = sp2

CH = sp2

C = sp

C = sp

CH3 = sp3

B) CH2 = sp

C) CH C O = sp and sp2

D) O = no carbon

E) CH3 CO2 = sp3 and sp2
