Explain, why CH3Cl has higher dipole moment than CH3F?
Identify the hybridization and bond angles at the carbon atoms in the molecule shown:
Two isomers share the molecular formula C3H4. In Structure A two ofthe carbon atoms are sp hybridized and one carbon atom is sp3 hybridized. In Structure B, two of the carbon atoms are sp2 hybridized and one carbon atom is sphybridized. b)Draw “3D”-looking structures on paper, make a sketch of each of the isomers. (This should be a sketch of themolecules, not diagrams of overlapping orbitals!) Your drawing should show thecorrect molecular geometry around each carbon atom. [HINT: NEITHER of thesemolecules is planar!!! To draw them correctly, you will have to consider why!]
