3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does sp3 hybridization involve?
Think about how many hybrid orbitals are formed.
What is the ideal bond angle for a tetrahedral geometry?
Consider the shape of a tetrahedron.
What molecular geometry does sp3 hybridized carbon exhibit in methane?
Think about the three-dimensional arrangement.
True or False: Ammonia (NH3) has a bond angle of 109.5°.
Consider the presence of lone pairs and how they affect angles.
Calculate the resulting bond angles for a molecule with a formula CH2Cl2. Identify its hybridization and explain how lone pairs might affect bond angles.
Consider the number of different types of atoms bonded to the central carbon atom.
Explain why the bond angle in water is less than that in ammonia and provide a structural formula for both, labeling all parts.
Draw both structures clearly, paying attention to lone pairs.
